“…Clinically, they are described as having a classic triad of hypersensitivity to cold, paroxysmal pain, and pinpoint pain [21]. They are most frequently subungual in location [3], but do infrequently occur in a variety of extradigital locations [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Extradigital glomus tumor in the knee: excision with ultrasound guided needle localization

Glomus tumors are rare neoplasms that are usually subungual in location, but can infrequently be found elsewhere in the body. When they occur in extradigital locations, they present a diagnostic challenge that may result in delay of definitive management. We report a case of a 51-year-old male who experienced decade long chronic pain because of a glomus tumor in the suprapatellar fat pad of the knee. This case is unique not only because of the glomus tumor's location, but also because it ultimately required ultrasound-guided needle localization for excision.

“…In regards to the musculoskeletal system, extradigital glomus tumors have been described around the shoulder, elbow, hip, ankle, and foot [6][7][8][9][10]. Awareness of the entity is important as delays to diagnosis of between 20 to 30 years have been reported [11,12].…”

Aşil tendonu dışındaki ayak bileği çevresi tendonlarının sorunları, çok da nadir görülmeyen, ancak çoğu zaman ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmediği için tanısı atlanan patolojilerdir. Daha çok tendonların yırtıkları, çıkıkları, aşırı kullanıma bağlı tendinitleri ve tenosinovitleri klinik pratikte karşı karşıya kalınabilecek durumlardır. Bu derlemede ayak bileği tendon sorunları kasların anatomik yerleşimine göre ön, yan ve arka olmak üzere üç bölümde incelendi.

“…32 Moreover, instances of the clinical presentation being confused with other conditions such as flexor hallucis longus injury, ingrown toe nail, Morton neuroma, and hysteria have also been reported along with reports of prior unsuccessful surgical procedures. 31,37,49,56 Thus, early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the great morbidity suffered by the patients. Moreover, information on the outcomes following management of toe glomus tumors is limited because of the paucity of the reported cases.…”

Background: Glomus tumors are uncommon tumors and their occurrence in the foot is even less common. Glomus tumors of the toes are often missed, causing delays in diagnosis and treatment. We report an ambispective observational study of glomus tumors of the toes that were treated at our institution. Methods: We reviewed the records of all the patients who underwent excision of toe glomus tumors in our department from January 2010 to September 2022. The follow-up data were collected from the outpatient records and by telephonic interview. Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) score, Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), and the Foot Function Index (FFI) were collected. Results: Out of all the patients treated for glomus tumors, we found that 7 patients had glomus tumors of the toes. Of the 7 patients, 6 were women and 1 was a male. The mean follow-up of our patients was 66.4 months (range, 7-109 months). Of the 7 patients, 1 presented with recurrent glomus tumor 30 months following the primary operation, for which she underwent excision again, after which she was symptom free. Another patient who developed recurrent symptoms on telephonic interview refused any further treatment. Among the 6 patients who were symptom-free at follow-up (including the patient who underwent excision for the recurrent tumor), the median SANE score, and FFI were 99.5 (IQR, 96-100) and 0.5 (IQR, 0-2) respectively. The mean FAOS was 96 (SD, 3.3). Conclusion: Surgical excision of the subungual toe glomus tumors can be curative. Recurrence of toe glomus tumors was noted in 2 patients (29%), one of whom refused further surgery. Re-excision in the other patient resulted in complete resolution of symptoms. Level of Evidence: Level III, ambispective observational study.
