An unusual case of multiple recurrence of a glomangioma.
Glomus tumour is a benign lesion arising from the glomus apparatus of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Glomangioma is the angiomatous variant, which is uncommon. We report a very rare presentation of a glomangioma with multiple recurrences. We advocate preoperative angiography to delineate the extent of the lesion to facilitate complete excision.
