Abstract:
A 48-year-old woman with a 15-year history of a painful nodule in the para-Achilles tendon area was evaluated by clinical examination, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography, then treated by simple surgical excision of the nodule. Pathology revealed a glomus tumor, which is extremely rare in the para-Achilles tendon area. This is the first report of a glomus tumor in this location.
