Abstract
A glomus tumor is a benign mesenchymal tumor comprised of cells that resemble the perivascular modified smooth muscle cells of the glomus body. Glomus tumors typically appear in the superficial lesions of the soft tissue in the extremities, such as the subungual region. However, their occurrence in the bone is rare, with only about 30 cases reported to date. Half of these cases involved the distal phalanges of the fingers or toes, with only three reported cases involving the long bones. Here, we present the first case, a primary glomus tumor in the humerus of a 14-year-old female. An osteolytic and cystic lesion was detected after a pathological fracture occurred during exercise. Despite the tumor's large size, no pathological findings indicated malignancy. The fracture healed through conservative treatment, while the tumor was effectively managed with curettage. Appropriate medical care can be provided to patients by focusing on pathological findings.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
