Case:
A glomus tumor of the toes is rare, and as far as we know, there has been no report of simultaneous occurrence in 2 toes. A 45-year-old woman presented with forefoot pain. Based on imaging findings, glomus tumors of the third and fourth toes were suspected. Tumor resection was performed, and pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of glomus tumors.
Conclusion:
In this case, it was difficult to recognize the tumors because they occurred simultaneously in 2 toes. Even for sites where a glomus tumor is rare, it is important to understand the characteristic symptoms through a detailed interview and examination.
