Abstract

Introduction: Glomus tumors are rare benign lesions that arise from a neuro-myo-arterial structure. While they are typically located in the fingers, they can also occur in other regions of the body which can delay accurate diagnosis. Case Presentation: We report a rare localization of a glomus tumor in the dorsal wrist, discovered by a painful mass. The aim of this article is to raise awareness in the scientific community and elaborate a review of the literature. Conclusion: Extradigital glomus tumors of the extremities are extremely rare. Their diagnosis is often overlooked due to their incomplete clinical presentation. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and treatment options associated with extradigital glomus tumors.
