Abstract
Glomus tumors are rare and benign. They originate from the neuromyoarterial glomus body. Digital glomus tumors are a well-known condition in hand surgery. On the contrary, there is a lack of knowledge with regard to extradigital glomus tumor resulting in diagnostic and therapeutic errors. We here report a new case of glomus tumor of the thigh. Our literature review aims to focus attention on these uncommon locations.Entities:
