Abstract Multiple regional glomus tumors are rare. A 61-year-old woman was presented with pain in the left leg and was diagnosed with multiple glomus tumors in the leg, and underwent surgery in 1996. Three bluish red subcutaneous masses on the fascia of the anterior and lateral side of the tibia were excised. Histological and immunohistochemical studies showed regional and solid type (positive for α-smooth muscle actin, vimentin, and type IV collagen and negative for desmin) multiple glomus tumors. The patient has experienced no pain and there has been no evidence of recurrence since the surgery.
