They arise from the normal glomus apparatus, located in the subcutaneous tissue. A glomus body is composed of an afferent arteriole, an anastomotic Suquet-Hoyer canal, an efferent venule, actin-containing glomus cells surrounding the canals, the intraglomerular reticulum, and a capsular portion [1]. The normal glomus body is a contractile neuromyoarterial receptor that controls blood pressure and temperature by regulating peripheral blood flow. Glomus bodies are present in the stratum reticularis of the dermis throughout the body. So, glomus tumors can occur in many parts of the body. We did not come across any case of glomus tumor at breast during our review of literature. Also, Bisceglia et al reported, at their review, that no glomus tumor either sporadic or in the context of any immunodeficiency has been recorded at breast [2]. Here, we present the first case. ...
