  • Title: Multiple digital glomus tumors.
    Author: Maxwell GP, Curtis RM, Wilgis EF.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 1979 Jul; 4(4):363-7. PubMed ID: 224090.
    Abstract:
    In 28 patients with glomus tumors of the digits, 21 were relieved of symptoms by excision of a solitary tumor. Seven other patients had multiple tumors, four of which were the cause of recurrent symptoms. Three patients had multiple tumors--five in one patient, four in another, and two in a third, which had been found at the time of the first operation. A 25% incidence of multiple tumors and a 15% incidence of recurrent symptoms indicates that a careful search should be made for additional tumors.
