Glomus tumors with malignant features of the extremities: a case series.
Taylor R WoodJonathan B McHughGeoffrey W SiegelPublished in: Clinical sarcoma research (2020)
Our study supports the current literature that wide-local resection with the goal of negative margins is still the current gold standard treatment for glomus tumors with malignant features. Studies with larger cohorts are necessary before recommending for or against radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Early biopsy and referral to a tertiary sarcoma center prior to surgical resection may help reduce the re-resection rate and potential seeding of the tumor in these patients, thereby improving outcomes.
