Περίληψη:
Glomus tumor (GT) constitutes a rare, benign, soft-tissue tumor emerging
from neuro-myo-arterial glomus bodies. Due to its rarity, and absence of
typical symptoms, GT is usually misdiagnosed, with a potential risk of
rupture and infection, or even malignant transformation. The present
manuscript reports a rare case of a 17-year-old young woman with
multiple GTs in her lower back, breach and left thigh that was
surgically treated. The manuscript aims to highlight the importance of
prompt diagnosis and surgical treatment of this peculiar tumor in young
patients and raise surgeons' awareness.
