Abstract EN
Glomus tumors are benign, subcutaneous neoplasms of the perivasculature.
Though facial location is rare, the diagnosis of a glomus tumor should be considered in cases of undiagnosed painful facial nodules or chronic facial pain.
Imaging aids in defining the tumor and planning a complete excision in order to avoid recurrence.
Histological examination is mandatory after every attempted excision.
A case of glomus tumor of the cheek along with the possible pitfalls of diagnosis and treatment and a brief review of the limited associated literature are presented.
