BackgroundThis report describes a recurrent orbital glomus tumor in an Asian patient.Case presentationA healthy 50-year-old Korean man had progressive right exophthalmos and a soft mass on his right lower lid for 6 months. We evaluated the mass using CT and MRI, and performed excisional biopsy and pathologic examination. Pathologically, the mass was a glomus tumor. Although proptosis of the right eye decreased, one month after surgery it increased to almost the same level as before surgery.ConclusionsThis is the first report of an Asian patient with an orbital glomus tumor that demonstrated rapid re-growth after incision without pain or visual problems.

“…1 Other reports of facial GVM include lesions in the cheek, mandibular area, oral mucosa, eyelid, and retrobulbar orbit but not in the brow region. 2–6 Masson 7 provided the first clinical description of this condition in 1924 with the classic triad of excruciating pain out of proportion to size, localized tenderness, and temperature sensitivity, particularly to cold.…”

Glomuvenous malformations (GVMs), previously referred to as glomus tumors or glomangiomas, are benign, mesenchymal venous malformations arising from glomus bodies. Glomus bodies are modified smooth muscle neuromyoarterial structures involved in temperature regulation via blood shunting. These classically occur in the digits but can occur in other locations. The authors present a case of a periorbital GVM presented following blunt trauma to the area.
