Glomus tumors are rare vascular tumors that are found most commonly in the hand. Although the tumors are benign, they can cause intense focal pain. Patients often go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for many years because the tumors are small, usually not palpable, and have varying presentations. A combination of magnetic resonance imaging and clinical examination is used to support the diagnosis. Surgical excision normally provides complete pain relief. An awareness of the diagnosis is critical to preventing an unnecessary delay in treatment.

“…Their clinical features are summarized in Table 1. The tumors have affected various sites such as the common peroneal nerve16), the radial nerve13), the sciatic nerve9), the tibial nerve15), a digital branch of the ulnar nerve7), a dermal nerve in the shoulder1), the median nerve9), and the sural nerve2). The present case is the first report of a glomus tumor associated with the femoral nerve branch.…”

The glomus tumor of the peripheral nerve is one of the mesenchymal tumors originating in the epineurium, and is extremely rare. A 56-year-old man presented complaining of lancinating pain on the left thigh, which was provoked by pressure or exercise. Subsequent image study revealed a mass in the femoral nerve. Total surgical excision with the aid of intraoperative ultrasonography was performed and the pain was successfully controlled. The authors report an unusual case of a patient diagnosed with glomus tumor in peripheral nerve, with a review of the clinical features, imaging, and pathological findings.

“…In the lesions affecting sensory nerves, numbness can persist. 3 Noteworthy preoperative and/or postoperative morbidity can be seen when glomus tumors involve major nerves. 5,6 In our case, the tumor presented solely as a painful mass with point tenderness.…”
