  • Title: An unusual presentation of a glomus tumour.
    Author: Nugent N, Henry F, O'Shaughnessy M.
    Journal: Ir Med J; 2011 Feb; 104(2):51-2. PubMed ID: 21465877.
    Abstract:
    Glomus tumours are benign, soft tissue tumours, usually of fingertips. Classically they present with severe pain, temperature sensitivity and localised tenderness. The diagnosis is often delayed due to sometimes non-specific symptoms and rarity of the disorder. While usually a clinical diagnosis, imaging may be necessary for diagnosis and localisation. We present a case of glomus tumour of the fingertip with an unusual history.
