Abstract:
Glomus tumors (GTs) are rare benign tumors as a result of hyperplasia of glomus body. GT most commonly involves the subungual areas and rarely involves extra-digital sites. The clinical presentation of a glomus tumor is a triad of symptoms consisting of pain, cold intolerance, and pinpoint tenderness. Even though glomus tumors are benign, they can infrequently be malignant. Despite their benign nature, these lesions can cause disabling symptoms, therefore proper diagnosis and treatment is important. In this report, we present a 35-year-old Saudi male with a painful lesion on the right side of the chest wall at the posterior axillary line for seven years, with recent progressive growth and symptoms. Diagnosis of extra-digital glomangioma of the chest wall in this patient was confirmed by histopathology. The patient was managed by complete surgical excision of the lesion with the resolution of pain and without recurrence.
摘要:
血管球瘤(GTs)是由于血管球体增生而引起的罕见良性肿瘤。GT通常涉及甲下区域,很少涉及数字外站点。血管球瘤的临床表现是由疼痛组成的三联症状,冷不耐受,精确定位压痛。尽管血管球瘤是良性的,它们很少是恶性的。尽管它们是良性的,这些病变会导致致残症状,因此,正确的诊断和治疗是重要的。在这份报告中,我们介绍了一名35岁的沙特男性,在后腋线的胸壁右侧有一个疼痛的病变,持续了7年,最近逐渐增长和症状。通过组织病理学证实了该患者的胸壁外数字管血管瘤的诊断。患者通过完全手术切除病灶,缓解疼痛且无复发。
