Glomus tumors are well recongnized and well documented lesions which usually present as painful dermal nodules in the fingers. A glomus consists of arteriovenous anastomosis which may be enclosed by a connective tissue capsule. They are described occuring in the skin and subcutaneous tissue on the flexor surfaces of the fingers and toes and in the nailbeds; but they also occur elsewhere in the corium. Approximately one-third of glomus tumor occur in the nail bed. These tumors may occur at any age. This paper reports a glomus tumor occuring in the subcutaneous tissue of the right cubital fossa of a 24 years old female. Despite extreme pain and tenderness with a slight touch, there was 7 years delay in the diagnosis but complete recovery followed excision of the tumor.

This paper records the observation of one remarkable instance of osteoid osteoma, in a single tibia presenteng a double nidus separately. X ray film checked on three years ago revealed of no abnormal findings when this patient was 17 years old. This case is 20 years oId female who complained of severe pain in her right tibia especially at night which was relieved by aspirin. Recently Lichtenstein reported two cases of osteoid osteoma with multicentrc nidus in a single bone in one sclierotic area, but in this case the nidus was about three inches apart in its own sclerotic area.
