Abstract
Introduction: Glomus tumours are rare, benign tumours of vascular origin, arising from the glomus body. Glomus
tumours are neoplasms of mesenchyme derived from glomus bodies. Glomus tumours present as a purple or pink vascular
lesion that can be confused with a vascular neoplasm such as hemangioma. In this case we are reporting a rare presentation of glomus tumour over
lower lid. A 10 year old female child presented with lesion over left lower Case Report: lid since 3 months which was painless and progressive.
On examination a 0.3x0.3 cm subcutaneous pink non encapsulated mass is seen over medial canthus of left eye. Mass was excised and subjected to
histopathological examination which conrmed the diagnosis of glomus cell tumour(glomangioma). Postoperative period was uneventful with no
recurrence for last 6months. Conclusion: All excised eyelid lesions should undergo detailed Histopathological evaluation and glomus tumour
should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with eyelid mass.
