Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Dermatopathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Glomus tumors are typically found in the digits.
  • Extradigital glomus tumors are less common but documented.
  • Understanding their prevalence is important for diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A case of an extradigital glomus tumor in the forearm is presented.
  • The tumor was located outside the typical digital areas.
  • Clinical and pathological findings were consistent with a glomus tumor.

Findings:

  • The forearm glomus tumor represents an extradigital manifestation.
  • Literature review indicates a potential underestimation of extradigital glomus lesions in the upper limb.
  • These tumors may occur more frequently in the forearm than previously reported.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of extradigital glomus tumors in the forearm is warranted for clinicians.
  • Consideration of extradigital glomus tumors in forearm masses can aid diagnosis.
  • Further research may clarify the true incidence of extradigital glomus tumors in the upper limb.
