  • Title: Glomus tumor of the index finger.
    Author: Kale SS, Rao VK, Bentz ML.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2006 Jul; 17(4):801-4. PubMed ID: 16877938.
    Abstract:
    A 41-year-old female patient presented with localized worsening subungual pain of her right index finger. Subsequent diagnostic evaluation revealed the presence of a glomus tumor. A glomus tumor is a rare tumor with a predilection for the hand. Classic symptoms include pain, pain with pressure, and pain with cold temperature. We present a completely updated literature review that addresses the epidemiology, pathology, presentation, diagnostic evaluation, classification, histology, genetics, and treatment options for glomus tumors.
