ABSTRACT
An unusual case of glomus tumor involving right breast of a twenty-six man is presented, with a review of the literature. The clinic presentation, histopathologic appearance, differential diagnosis, and treatment for a glomus tumor are reviewed. The glomus tumor is a rare hamartomatous overgrowth of the normal glomus elements found in the skin. The tumor presents as a painful, benign growth, most often in the digits, but another localization has been described.
