A primary malignant glomus tumor of the liver is extremely rare and diagnostically challenging. We present an exceptional case of such with a diagnosis confirmed by rearrangement. The case was successfully managed with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery. This report highlights the utilization of molecular analysis to aid in the diagnosis of rare soft tissue malignancies and supports a multimodality approach to the treatment of large, high-grade malignant glomus tumors.

Multiple GT is a rare clinical entity that can be associated with other diseases or in the context of genetic mutations. However, the occurrence of solitary GTs simultaneously has also been reported rarely.

Non-subungual glomus tumor in the fingers is very rare. To explore the insights gained from diagnosing and treating non-subungual glomus tumors in the finger, we collected 19 cases in the last ten years, which were only reported as isolated cases in the previous literature. This was a retrospective study of 19 surgical patients between May 2012 and January 2022 with preoperative MRI, ultrasound, and their final pathological diagnosis is glomus tumor, while the lesions were located not under the nail bed.
