Surgical administration of multiple glomus tumors in uncommon anatomic regions in a 17-year-old female. A rare case report

Glomus tumor (GT) constitutes a rare, benign, soft-tissue tumor emerging from neuro-myo-arterial glomus bodies.

description Glomus tumor (GT) constitutes a rare, benign, soft-tissue tumor emerging from neuro-myo-arterial glomus bodies. Due to its rarity, and absence of typical symptoms, GT is usually misdiagnosed, with a potential risk of rupture and infection, or even malignant transformation. The present manuscript reports a rare case of a 17-year-old young woman with multiple GTs in her lower back, breach and left thigh that was surgically treated. The manuscript aims to highlight the importance of prompt diagnosis and surgical treatment of this peculiar tumor in young patients and raise surgeons’ awareness.
