Abstract: (34 Views)
Glomus tumors are rare neoplasms that typically exhibit a combination of three symptoms: pain, pinpoint tenderness, and hypersensitivity to cold. The existence of an intravascular glomus tumor in the forearm is an uncommon event, typically characterized by the manifestation of enduring pain and localized tenderness. Its diagnosing can be quite challenging, potentially leading to delays in treatment. Here, we reported a case of an intravascular glomus tumor in the forearm with a history of one year of forearm pain. During the clinical examination, local tenderness was observed, but sensitivity to cold was absent. After the excision of the tumor, the patient’s symptoms completely resolved, and they did not report any pain thereafter. As a result, a glomus tumor should be considered in cases of chronic forearm pain and tenderness.
