Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Glomus tumors are benign vascular neoplasms originating from glomus bodies.
  • Typically presenting as small, blue-red nodules on extremities, most commonly subungually.
  • Extradigital glomus tumors can present with atypical clinical features, complicating diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of an extradigital glomus tumor.
  • To discuss diagnostic challenges associated with extradigital glomus tumors.
  • To underscore the importance of including glomus tumors in the differential diagnosis of unusual subcutaneous lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 45-year-old patient with an elbow subcutaneous tumor.
  • Histopathological examination of the tumor.
Keywords:

  • Immunohistochemical analysis for smooth muscle actin (SMA) and vimentin (VMT).

    • Main Results:

    • Histopathology confirmed a well-circumscribed nodule with characteristic glomus tumor morphology.
    • Tumor cells showed positive reactivity for SMA and VMT.
    • The tumor was located in the subcutaneous tissue of the elbow, an extradigital site.

    Conclusions:

    • Extradigital glomus tumors, though rare, require high clinical suspicion due to variable presentations.
    • Accurate diagnosis through histopathology and immunohistochemistry is crucial for appropriate management.
    • Simple excision is often curative for glomus tumors, but early diagnosis is key, especially for extradigital variants.
