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.
