Glomus Tumour: Uncommon Entity But Commonly Remain Undiagnosed

Abstract

Glomus tumor is a benign and vascular hamartoma that originates from the neuromyoarterial cells of the
normal glomus apparatus in the reticular dermis. It accounts for 1–5% of soft tissue tumors of the hand. This
tumor typically presents with cold hypersensitivity, pain, tenderness, and sometimes nails deformities or
nail discoloration. Although the precise cause of glomus tumors is unknown. We report an atypical case of a
patient with painless glomus tumor.
