Glomus tumors are rare tumors most often occurring in the extremities of the limbs. We report a unique case of a glomus tumor, originally arising in the paraspinal region, which was excised and subsequently recurred in the chest wall with malignant transformation. The recurrence is likely to have been caused by wound seeding. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in the English literature of a glomus tumor recurrence secondary to the notion of wound seeding.
血管球瘤是一种罕见肿瘤,最常发生于四肢末端。我们报告了一例独特的血管球瘤病例,最初发生于脊柱旁区域,已切除,但随后在胸壁复发并发生恶变。复发可能是由伤口种植引起的。据我们所知,这是英文文献中首例因伤口种植概念继发的血管球瘤复发报告。
