Referring to a case of a glomangioma at the elbow, several aspects of this tumor are illustrated. Since the related hemangiopericytoma can be distinguished from the glomangioma by its biological behavior, the morphological differential diagnosis of both tumors is discussed in detail. Therapeutic consequences of one or the other diagnosis are also indicated.
