Abstract

Glomus tumours of the elbow remain a challenge to diagnose correctly and efficiently. We present a case of a glomus tumour as a complication of elbow surgery. This has not been described previously. This case highlights the possibility of injury as a causative factor in these tumours and the difficulty in differentiating them from postoperative neuromas by clinical presentation and ultrasound imaging alone.
