Description
Summary:We report the clinical case of a 72-year-old man followed for 10years by a specialized pain center, for neuropathic pain poorly systematized, triggered by the contact of the anteromedial face of the right forearm. After surgical excision, histological analysis indicated a well-circumscribed nodule in the subcutaneous region, confirming that the mass was a glomus tumor. In this clinical case, surgical excision allowed an immediate disappearance of the pains without recurrence to this day. Nous rapportons le cas clinique d’un homme de 72 ans suivi pendant 10 ans par un centre spécialisé pour une douleur neuropathique mal systématisée, déclenchée par le contact de la face antéromédiale de l’avant-bras droit. Après excision chirurgicale, l’analyse histologique a révélé un nodule sous-cutané bien délimité permettant de confirmer le diagnostic de tumeur glomique. Dans ce cas clinique, l’excision chirurgicale a permis une disparition immédiate des douleurs, sans récurrence à ce jour.
