A glomus tumor is a rare and benign vascular tumor. It can originate in multiple locations on the body, although it has most frequently been found in subungeal areas of the hand. This two cases report describes a glomus tumor of the hallux, including a recurrence and a review of the related literature. We believe this case study might be of interest due to the unusual location of this tumor.
血管球瘤是一种罕见的良性血管肿瘤。它可以起源于身体的多个部位,尽管它最常发生在手的甲下区域。这两个病例报告描述了一例发生在大脚趾的血管球瘤,包括一次复发,并对相关文献进行了回顾。我们认为,由于该肿瘤的位置不常见,因此这个病例研究可能具有一定的意义。
