Osseous abnormalities produced by glomus tumors located in soft tissues of the periungual region have been described. More rare is the location of a glomus tumor within bone, which usually is located in the phalanx of the fingers. However, to the authors' knowledge, there is no previous description of a glomus tumor located in a periosteal location of a long bone. A 50-year-old man with a glomus tumor in a periosteal location of the lower metaphysis of the femur without neoplastic erosion of the cortical surface is reported. Magnetic resonance imaging and intraoperative ultrasonography were needed to locate the lesion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D005918 Glomus Tumor A blue-red, extremely painful vascular neoplasm involving a glomeriform arteriovenous anastomosis (glomus body), which may be found anywhere in the skin, most often in the distal portion of the fingers and toes, especially beneath the nail. It is composed of specialized pericytes (sometimes termed glomus cells), usually in single encapsulated nodular masses which may be several millimeters in diameter (From Stedman, 27th ed). CHEMODECTOMA, a tumor of NEURAL CREST origin, is also sometimes called a glomus tumor. Glomangioma,Glomangiomas,Glomus Tumors,Tumor, Glomus,Tumors, Glomus
