Glomus tumors are most frequently benign and solitary. Affected patients classically complain of extremely painful episodes. Symptoms occur spontaneously or elicited by local compression and cold environment, in special if the tumor has an acral location. A 50-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due to chronic atypical episodes of wrist pain. A deep-seated subcutaneous nodule was detected in her right wrist, and a surgical biopsy was performed. Histopathology study revealed a benign glomus tumor with a solid pattern. Misdiagnoses involving glomus tumors with atypical symptoms or tumors developing in unusual sites are emphasized. https://acta.tums.ac.ir/index.php/acta/article/view/6397 https://acta.tums.ac.ir/index.php/acta/article/download/6397/5200
