Glomus Tumor of the Scrotum: A Case Report

Stephen Legg*

Published: 21 June, 2019 | Volume 3 - Issue 2 | Pages: 008-009.

Glomus tumors are rare, usually benign, lesions that arise most often in the extremities. They are derived from the glomus body and have a propensity to be found in the fingers and toes, and often in the subungual area [1]. They typically demonstrate pinprick sensitivity, cold hypersensitivity and paroxysmal pain [2]. Only two glomus tumors of the scrotum have been reported and we report a third case of this rare tumor.
