Case Report: Extra Digital Glomus Tumor of Thigh in Elderly Patient. Rare Case Report

Glomus tumors are rare soft tissue growths usually found in the hand or periphery. Even though the presentation of glomus tumors varies in the body, they are most commonly seen in the upper limb, particularly in the subungual region. The presentation of these tumors is rare in the lower limb. Glomus tumors predominantly affect women between the ages of 20 and 40. In this case, we present an intriguing instance of a 75-year-old female who exhibited a soft tissue swelling in her upper thigh, which is an unusual site. Post-operative histopathological analysis revealed that this soft tissue swelling turned out to be a glomus tumor.

Abstract

Glomus tumors are rare soft tissue growths usually found in the hand or periphery. Even though the presentation of glomus tumors varies in the body, they are most commonly seen in the upper limb, particularly in the subungual region. The presentation of these tumors is rare in the lower limb. Glomus tumors predominantly affect women between the ages of 20 and 40. In this case, we present an intriguing instance of a 75-year-old female who exhibited a soft tissue swelling in her upper thigh, which is an unusual site. Post-operative histopathological analysis revealed that this soft tissue swelling turned out to be a glomus tumor.
