title: Multiple glomus tumors in gastrocnemius muscle: a case report.
abstract: Glomus tumors are rare benign tumors that account 1-5% of soft tissue tumors of the hand. Most of the lesions occurred in the subungal region of the distal phalanx. We describe an unusual case of recurrent glomus tumor located in lower leg. The final diagnosis was established by pathologic examination of the surgical resection specimen.
