A 48-year-old female complained of painful tender mass in her right calf aggravated several months ago. Her MRI and femoral angiogram showed a well defined hypervascular tumor such as hemagioma or hemagioendothelioma in the right calf. Surgical treatment was performed, and it proved glomus tumor in soleus muscle histologically.RESULTS:
After the operation, patient didn't complain of her symptoms any more and there was no evidence of recurrence during 1 year follow-up period.CONCLUSION:
Authors have found only eight cases of intramuscular glomus tumor reported in the literature and present here the ninth case of an intramuscular glomus tumor and first case of soleus muscle.
