Abstract
Glomus tumors are small, painful benign tumors that occur primarily in the subungual region of the hand. The presentation of glomus tumors in areas other than the hand is rare, but have been reported. Patients with glomus tumors have a prolonged history of focal pain, tenderness, and cold hypersensitivity. However, as all 3 symptoms may not present simultaneously, it can present a diagnostic challenge to clinicians and imagers, often remaining undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for many years. We report a case of an extradigital glomus tumor of the right thigh that was initially diagnosed as focal superficial thrombophlebitis. The diagnosis of glomus tumor was pathologically proven.
