Abstract
SYMPTOMS: A patient presented suffering from neural pain in the medial foot for a period of over 20 years. DIAGNOSIS: Diagnostic showed a widely spread soft-tissue tumor consisting of confluent glomuvenous malformations that was responsible for the immense pain syndrome.The solitary or multiform-appearing knots are not compressible and manifest as the characteristic syndromes of regional pain, sensitivity to coldness, or local pressure pain. Alternatively, the patient could also be completely symptom-free. TREATMENT: Because of the dimension of the tumor and the degree of suffering, a radical resection with simultaneous microsurgical reconstruction was carried out. Twelve weeks postoperatively, healing of the flap stabilized, the foot is fully weight-bearing, and the patient is pain-free.Entities:
