Glomus tumors are rare tumors, benign but painful and responsible for a major functional impairment. Although their preferential localization is digital, 35% of glomus tumors are extradigital. Ignorance of this disease characterized by atypical clinical signs and the absence of specific imaging are responsible for a significant diagnostic delay, 7 to 10 years in extradigital forms. Treatment by surgical excision simply ensures immediate disappearance of pain without recurrence in 90% of cases. It is therefore necessary to emphasize the existence of this sometimes debilitating condition benefiting from effective therapeutic solution. We report the case of a glomus tumor of the anterior capsule of the left elbow in a 24-year-old woman with a diagnostic delayed by 12 years.
血管球瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤，虽为良性，但会引起疼痛并导致严重的功能障碍。尽管其好发于手指，但35%的血管球瘤发生于手指以外部位。由于对这种具有非典型临床症状且缺乏特异性影像学表现的疾病认识不足，导致诊断显著延迟，手指以外部位的血管球瘤诊断延迟达7至10年。手术切除治疗能使90%的病例疼痛立即消失且不再复发。因此，有必要强调这种有时使人衰弱的疾病的存在，并让人们了解其可受益于有效的治疗方案。我们报告一例24岁女性左肘前囊血管球瘤病例，其诊断延迟了12年。
