First defined in 1812 by Wood, glomus tumors were known as “painful subcutaneous tubercles.” They commonly occur in middle-aged women and by the fifth decade in men. They are known as uncommon benign neuromyoarterial neoplasms that usually occur in the subungual region of the finger. Extradigital location of glomus tumor is rare [ ]: The forearm has been reported as the most common extradigital location. Palm, wrist, and foot could also be affected. It generally appears as a solitary, small, pinkish tumor, or as multiple ones. We present a case of glomus tumor located on the buttock.
