Multiple glomus tumor (MGT) is rare in incidence. A 37-year-old male was diagnosed to have localized MGT over his right leg. With the characteristics of unusual location (right lower leg), development in sequence, and distribution along the course of the lateral sural cutaneous nerve. Its pathological findings were also characteristic. When the overall presentations showed in cases with recurrent symptoms and signs of glomus tumor after surgical excision, recurrence and multiplicity should be considered.
