Giant glomus tumors pose a challenge to the Otologist by virtue of their location and vascularity. A vast majority of them present with tinnitus, conductive hearing loss and cranial nerve palsies. We report the case of a 16-year-old male patient who presented with sudden right-sided sensorineural hearing loss. This is an unusual presentation of a giant glomus tumor. We present the clinical features and management of this unusual case.

There is a diverse group of non-gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that demonstrate characteristic pathology and histogenesis as well as variable imaging findings and biological behavior. Recent advancements in tumor genetics have unveiled specific abnormalities associated with certain tumors, influencing their molecular pathogenesis, biology, response to treatment, and prognosis. Notably, giant fibrovascular polyps of the esophagus, identified through MDM2 gene amplifications, are now classified as liposarcomas.

Background: Soft tissue masses of the hand are common and mostly benign, including ganglion cysts, glomus tumors, lipomas, and giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath. Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumors but are rarely found on the distal parts of the digits. The authors present a case of a schwannoma located at the tip of the finger.

Introduction: Glomus tumors (GT) are rare, benign tumors that arise from glomus bodies and usually develop in digital areas. Extradigital GT are exceptional and thigh location is infrequent.
Case Report: We report a case of a GT of the thigh in a 79-year-old male patient that measured 9.
