Glomic tumor of the forearm associated with homolateral carpal tunnel syndrome: a case report

Abstract

Glomic tumors in the extra-digital localization are extremely rare and difficult to diagnose because of their rarity. The authors report a case of a glomus tumor of the posterior surface of the forearm associated with homolateral carpal tunnel syndrome, incidentally discovered after surgical excision in a 71-year-old patient.
