Abstract

ABSTRACT Glomus tumor is a mesenchymal tumor that results from differentiation of modified smooth muscle cells responsible of thermoregulation. They account for <2% of soft tissue tumors. Although these tumors are found in all body parts, 80% of them are placed in the upper extremities and 75% of them are located beneath finger nails. Malignant glomus tumor, which mostly shows local infiltration, is very rare accounting for 1% of total glomus tumors. Our case, which describes a malignant glomus tumor localized in patella, is presented and discussed because of its rare location and posttreatment recurrence

Özet

Glomus tümörü, glomus hücreleri olarak adlandırılan termoregülasyondan sorumlu modifiye düz kas hücrelerinin bir hat boyunca farklılaşması sonucu meydana gelen bir mezenkimal tümördür. Bu tümörler yumuşak doku tümörlerinin %2'den az bir kısmını oluştururlar. Vücudun tüm bölümlerinde görülmekle beraber %80’i üst ekstremitede yerleşirler ve bunların da %75’i el parmağındaki tırnak yatağında lokalizedir. Malign glomus tümörleri ise oldukça nadir olup glomus tümörlerinin %1’ini oluştururlar ve genellikle lokal infiltrasyonla seyrederler. Olgumuz patella yerleşimli bir malign glomus tümörü olup nadir görülen lokalizasyonda olması ve tedavi sonrası nüks gelişmesi nedeniyle literatür eşliğinde sunulmuştur.
