[Glomus tumor in the quadriceps ligament: a case report].
We report a very rare localization of glomus tumor: the quadriceps ligament. The clinical diagnosis in this 19-year-old male patient was difficult. The final diagnosis was established at pathology examination of the surgical resection specimen. Resection provided cure. A review of the literature confirms that the quadriceps is a very rare localization of glomus tumor, no other cases have been reported previously.
