Extradigital glomus tumors are a very rare entity. Here, we report a rare case of a glomus tumor in an atypical anatomic site: the thigh. The clinical features together with the results of MRI, and sonography and Doppler sonographic imaging helped to distinguish glomus tumor of the thigh from other soft tissue neoplasms. The tumor arising from the thigh was excised, and following surgery, the patient was symptom free without evidence of complications or recurrence. There have only been a few previously reported cases describing the use of Doppler sonography in the evaluation of extradigital glomus tumors. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
