Glomus tumor is a rare, benign neoplasm rising from the glomus apparatus of the skin. It occurs most frequently on fingers and toes and accounts for 1.6% of all soft tissue tumors. Clinical diagnosis may prove difficult if the tumor occurs on an extra digital location. We report a case of a vascular-type glomus tumor (glomangioma) found in an atypical location, namely the lateral aspect of the knee joint.
血管球瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤,起源于皮肤的血管球装置。它最常发生在手指和脚趾上,占所有软组织肿瘤的1.6%。如果肿瘤发生在指外部位,临床诊断可能会很困难。我们报告一例血管型血管球瘤(glomangioma),其发生在非典型部位,即膝关节外侧。
