Malignant glomus tumor of the index finger

Glomangioma Supply from Profunda Femoris Artery in Peripheral Artery Disease

This is a case report of a 5.6 cm glomangioma supplied by the femoral profunda artery in a 66-year-old male patient with severe peripheral artery disease. The patient complained of discomfort and mild pain at the place of the lesion and an accelerated growth rate in the last two months. A nodular mass located laterally on the left foot, elastic, covered with a thin skin, and mobile, was noted on the clinical exam. Doppler exam demonstrated an active vascular supply. CT angiography showed a femoral profunda artery blood supply and a severe asymptomatic bilateral peripheral artery disease (PAD). The lesion was removed entirely by surgery. A microscopy exam revealed a glomangioma. After surgery, the patient recovered unevenly. However, the patient experienced wound-healing issues that resolved after four weeks of surgery. Although the patient’s PAD was severe, the lesion presented with a burst in dimensions weeks before surgery.

Primary Intraosseous Malignant Glomus Tumor of the Finger with a Different Radiological Appearance: a Case Report and Review Literature

Primary intraosseous malignant glomus tumor is very rare and is often presented as an osteolytic lesion. The present case study reports a malignant intraosseous glomus tumor of the index finger that was presented as an osteosclerotic lesion and invaded adjacent tissues, leading to ray amputation. We also reported result of a five-year follow-up and presented a short literature review for the lesion.
