Abstract
A 35yr old female patient presented with a pulsatile swelling of right proximal tibia present for 2 years. There was a rapid increase in size and pain in the 6 weeks preceding presentation. Radiographs showed a lytic lesion of about 8cm x 8cm in the anteromedial aspect of the proximal tibia with MRI showing a highly vascular lesion. A needle biopsy and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of Glomangioma. It was treated with marginal resection of the tumour and fibular grafting of the defect.
