Abstract

Glomus tumor is a kind of vascular tumor that arises from the glomus body, which regulates skin temperature and is placed in the skin and the subcutaneous area. It is a benign tumor that usually presents in the subungal area. It is relatively common in areas other than the fingers, but its occurrence in peripheral nerves is known to be comparatively rare. We report our experience with a case of glomus tumor arising from the brachial plexus, a rare site of occurrence for glomus tumors.

사구종은 피부와 피하 인접부위에 위치하는 피부의 온도를 조절하는 사구체에서 발생하는 혈관종의 일종으로 대개 조갑하 부위에서 발생하는 양성 종양이다. 수지 이외의 부위에서 발생하는 경우가 상대적으로 흔하나 말초 신경에서 생기는 경우는 비교적 드문 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 교실에서는 일반적으로 호발하는 부위가 아닌 상완신경총에서 발생한 사구종 1예를 경험하였기에 이에 대해 보고하고자 한다.
