Glomus tumours are benign neoplasms that originate in the neuro-arterial glomus body, glomus arteriosus or arteriovenous glomus. It is a rare condition, which often appears in the extremities. Its cause is unknown, but post-trauma cases have been reported and there appears to be familial forms. The classic location of the glomus tumour is in the subungueal region, but they may be found in any area of the skin, soft tissue, or even more uncommon areas. Glomus tumours of the genitals are rare, there being very few cases published in the literature. There are three in the urethra; nine in the penis and five in the glans. The majority of these in young people and with painful symptoms.

We describe the histopathology and review the existing literature on glomus tumours.

We report the sixth case of a glomus tumour located in the glans, which fulfils the established histopathological criteria, as well as the majority of clinical criteria. Although these tumours are rare, we must be aware of them, given that the only treatment is complete surgical removal. As this neoplasm is a benign tumour, there is approximately 10%recurrence, thus there must be follow up.
