    Author: Aqil N, Gallouj S, Moustaide K, Mernissi FZ.
    Journal: J Med Case Rep; 2018 Oct 19; 12(1):319. PubMed ID: 30336779.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Herein, we report an unusual case of multifocal glomus tumors in the same hand in a patient suffering from neurofibromatosis type 1. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 37-year-old Moroccan woman, suffering from neurofibromatosis type 1, with intense pain in the fingers, successfully treated with the excision of the tumors. Histology of the lesions confirmed the diagnosis of glomus tumor. CONCLUSION: We present this case to support the association between glomus tumors and neurofibromatosis type 1. Thus, we strongly recommend that one should suspect a glomus tumor in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 if such patients have symptoms from finger pulp or nails.
