Abstract

|
Glomus tumors are well recongnized and well documented lesions which usually present as painful dermal nodules in the fingers. A glomus consists of arteriovenous anastomosis which may be enclosed by a connective tissue capsule. They are described occuring in the skin and subcutaneous tissue on the flexor surfaces of the fingers and toes and in the nailbeds; but they also occur elsewhere in the corium. Approximately one-third of glomus tumor occur in the nail bed. These tumors may occur at any age. This paper reports a glomus tumor occuring in the subcutaneous tissue of the right cubital fossa of a 24 years old female. Despite extreme pain and tenderness with a slight touch, there was 7 years delay in the diagnosis but complete recovery followed excision of the tumor.
