Abstract
Glomus tumors are rare
tumors with malignant nature. Regional lymph node metastases are even rare and
this could be contribute for determine to malignant form. The presence of lymph
node involvement directs adjuvant treatment is still controversial. Positive
imaging results might be helpful for decision of neck dissection. But results
might sometimes be false negative. Here we present a case of malignant glomus
tumor with regional lymph node metastasis was treated with neck dissection.
