Abstract

Glomus tumors are rare benign soft tissue neoplasms arising from neuromyoarterial glomus bodies. Although the typical location of the tumors is the distal phalanx, they can occur in extradigital locations. We report a case of a glomus tumor unusually located in the upper arm with typical magnetic resonance imaging findings and pathologic findings.

사구종양은 신경근동맥 사구로부터 기원하는 드문 양성 연부 종양이다. 종양의 전형적인 발생 위치는 수지 원위부이나, 수지 외 부위에도 드물게 발생할 수 있다. 이에 저자들은 보기 드문 위치인 상완에 발생한 사구종 1예를 전형적인 MRI 및 병리 소견과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
