A glomus tumor of the toes is rare, and as far as we know, there has been no report of simultaneous occurrence in 2 toes. A 45-year-old woman presented with forefoot pain. Based on imaging findings, glomus tumors of the third and fourth toes were suspected. Tumor resection was performed, and pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of glomus tumors.
In this case, it was difficult to recognize the tumors because they occurred simultaneously in 2 toes. Even for sites where a glomus tumor is rare, it is important to understand the characteristic symptoms through a detailed interview and examination.
两趾同时发生血管球瘤十分罕见，据我们所知，目前尚无相关报道。一位 45 岁女性因前足疼痛就诊。根据影像学检查结果，怀疑第三和第四脚趾的血管球瘤。行肿瘤切除术，病理检查结果证实为血管球瘤。
本例中，由于肿瘤同时发生于两趾，因此难以识别。即使在血管球瘤少见的部位，通过详细的问诊和检查了解其特征性症状也很重要。
