title: [Glomus tumor of the sciatic nerve].
abstract: Nervous glomus tumor is an exceptional lesion, as only one case has been reported in the literature. A case of sciatic nerve glomus tumor is described. Because of the intra-neural location of the tumor with complete loss of the fascicular structures, the tibial nerve was resected and grafted. Light microscopy clearly demonstrated a glomus tumor; the histological features of these cells are typical of this lesion.
