Abstract: | Glomus tumours are relatively uncommon lesions most frequently found in the extremitis, usually in the digits. They are most often solitary lesions but multiple tumours have been reported. If the triad of pain, tenderness and cold intolerance should raise the clinical suspicion of a digital glomus. The histological exam is necessary in the extra digital glomus. We reported a case of fossa poplitea glomangioma with tibialis nerve compression. The treatment of choice was a surgical exision. But the tumour have been redivided a year later without malign transformation. |
