A Glomus Tumour of the Chest Wall Secondary to Bullet Injury – An Unusual Case with Review of Literature

Abstract Glomus tumour is a rare vascular tumour, the common site being subunguam. It is rarely seen on the chest wall region. Also, occurrence of glomus tumour after injury is very uncommon. We present a case of glomus tumour in a 76 year old male patient who presented with swelling on chest wall secondary to bullet injury and was clinically diagnosed as keloid. The case is presented to highlight its occurrence after injury as well as its rare presentation on chest wall.
