Recurrent glomus tumor of the pinna: report of a case.
We describe a rare case of a glomus tumor of the pinna. The lesion produced a brief but sharp pain that occurred spontaneously, intermittently, and upon tactile stimulation. Surgical excision with wide margins was successful. We believe this to be only the third case of a glomus tumor of the auricle that has been reported in the literature.
