Summary

A glomus tumor in the ring finger recurred multiple times over 8 years despite surgical treatment. High-resolution MRI accurately located the tumor before each operation.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Glomus tumors are rare benign neoplasms typically arising in the glomus bodies of the digits.
  • Recurrent glomus tumors can present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in distal locations.

Observation:

  • A case of a glomus tumor in the distal ring finger with four recurrences over an 8-year period is presented.
  • The patient experienced intermittent pain-free intervals of 4-11 months between surgical interventions.
  • Histological examination consistently confirmed glomus tumor diagnosis across five procedures.

Findings:

  • High-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was utilized for precise preoperative localization of the glomus tumor.
  • Despite multiple surgical attempts by different surgeons, complete tumor eradication was not achieved, leading to recurrence.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for glomus tumor recurrence even after multiple excisions.
  • Advanced imaging techniques like high-resolution MRI are crucial for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning of glomus tumors.
  • Further research into optimal surgical strategies and adjuvant therapies for recurrent glomus tumors may be warranted.
