Abstract
Glomus tumour is a benign lesion arising from the glomus apparatus of the s kin and subcutaneous tissue. Glomangioma is the angiomatous variant, which is uncommon. We report a very rare presentation of a glomangioma with multi ple recurrences. We advocate preoperative angiography to delineate the exte nt of the lesion to facilitate complete excision.
