  • Title: Periosteal glomus tumor of the femur: a case report.
    Author: González-Llanos F, López-Barea F, Isla A, Fernández-Prieto A, Zubillaga A, Alvarez F.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 2000 Nov; (380):199-203. PubMed ID: 11064992.
    Abstract:
    Osseous abnormalities produced by glomus tumors located in soft tissues of the periungual region have been described. More rare is the location of a glomus tumor within bone, which usually is located in the phalanx of the fingers. However, to the authors' knowledge, there is no previous description of a glomus tumor located in a periosteal location of a long bone. A 50-year-old man with a glomus tumor in a periosteal location of the lower metaphysis of the femur without neoplastic erosion of the cortical surface is reported. Magnetic resonance imaging and intraoperative ultrasonography were needed to locate the lesion.
