Abstract
Glomus tumor is a rare benign neoplasm, accounting for less than 2% of all the soft tissue tumors. Although they can develop in any part of the body, they commonly do so in upper extremities, most commonly in fingers. Here, we report two cases of glomus tumor at rare locations, in order to increase the awareness of this tumor entity in unusual sites. We also highlight the clinicopathological features and differential diagnoses of this tumor.
