Abstract

Glomus tumors are rare, slow-growing vascular tumors that are uncommon in the foot or ankle. This case series describes 2 glomus tumors located in the hallux, 1 in the foot, and 3 in the ankle. One case was misdiagnosed and initially mistreated at another facility, radiographs were not diagnostic in any of the cases, and magnetic resonance imaging was diagnostic in only 2 cases. Surgical treatment was ultimately successful in all cases. It is hoped that this series may help to raise awareness of glomus tumors among foot and ankle surgeons.
