tumours are neoplasms of mesenchyme derived from glomus bodies. Glomus tumours present as a purple or pink vascular
lesion that can be confused with a vascular neoplasm such as hemangioma. In this case we are reporting a rare presentation of glomus tumour over
lower lid. A 10 year old female child presented with lesion over left lower Case Report: lid since 3 months which was painless and progressive.
On examination a 0.3x0.3 cm subcutaneous pink non encapsulated mass is seen over medial canthus of left eye. Mass was excised and subjected to
histopathological examination which conrmed the diagnosis of glomus cell tumour(glomangioma). Postoperative period was uneventful with no
recurrence for last 6months. Conclusion: All excised eyelid lesions should undergo detailed Histopathological evaluation and glomus tumour
should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with eyelid mass.
