SUMMARY

A 42‐year‐old woman developed a purplish, tender nodule on her wrist of 6 months duration. Histological examination showed a well‐circumscribed lesion situated in the dermis and subcutis characterized by numerous, dilated thin‐walled vascular spaces surrounded by sheets of glomus cells. The histological findings are characteristic of the diagnosis of an uncommon type of glomus tumour, known as glomangioma.
