Glomus Tumor in Vulva with Uncertain Malignant Potential

Glomus tumors of female genital tract are rare. Herein we report a case of glomus tumor in the vulva in a 39 years female presenting with a 4 cm painful vulvar growth. The mass was totally excised. The histopathological diagnosis was supported with immunohistochemistry and considering the size of the tumor more than 2 cm, the final diagnosis of glomus tumor with uncertain malignant potential was made. After the excision, the patient had no recurrence, on follow up. To the best of our knowledge only very few cases of glomus tumor with uncertain malignant potential have been described in vulva till date.
