Problems with diagnostic work-up of musculoskeletal pain due to glomus tumour. Four case reports.
Journal Title: Ortopedia Traumatologia Rehabilitacja - Year 2008, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
AbstractIntroduction: Glomus tumours are rare benign neoplasms of myoepithelial origin. Due to characteristic and painful symptoms, glomus tumours are a major clinical problem.Material: Four histologically confirmed cases of glomangioma treated at the Orthopaedics & Traumatology Department between 1999 and 2007. Results: The most significant symptom was extreme pain causing a decrease in the quality of life. Regardless of the location of the tumour, the correct diagnosis was delayed by 1.5 to 3 years. Conclusions: Due to its rare occurrence, glomus tumours are often missed out in the differential diagnosis of musculoskeletal pain. The agonising pain makes glomus tumours a significant clinical problem that should be remembered about, especially as surgery brings about spectacular improvement.
