title: Glomus tumour of the deltoid muscle. A case report.
abstract: Glomus tumours around the shoulder are very rare. To the best of our knowledge, seven cases have been reported to date. We present a case with special emphasis on its localization and time of appearance. Contrary to the related reports in the literature, the lesion was of short duration and it became symptomatic just 6 months before referral. Complete pain relief was achieved with surgical treatment.
