A glomus tumour is a nodule that arises from glomus cells in the arterial portion of the glomus body, or the Sucquet-Hoyer canal. The tumour is usually found on the nail bed or palm of a young adult and can be extremely painful, particularly following change in temperature or pressure.

A glomus tumor is an uncommon, predominantly benign, neoplastic lesion that primarily involves a thermoregulatory microvascular apparatus, the glomus body. Although these lesions can occur anywhere in the body, the subungual tissue of the hand represents the most common presentation site.

Oct 8, 2021 · We report a case of a symptomatic glomus tumour overlying the apex of the third toe in a 66 year old female. Excision in our case was curative. Glomus tumors are rare neoplasms that occasionally arise under the nail, fingertip, or within the foot.

Jun 22, 2021 · Glomus Tumors are rare benign tumors of the glomus body, often occurring in the subungual region. The condition is typically seen in patients between the ages of 20 and 40 who present with a painful subungal mass with bluish discoloration.

Cancerous glomus tumors have been subdivided into three categories based on their histologic appearance: locally infiltrative glomus tumors (LIGT), glomangiosarcomas arising in benign glomus tumors (GABG), and glomangiosarcomas arising de novo (GADN).

Jun 1, 2022 · We report a case of a symptomatic glomus tumour overlying the apex of the third toe in a 66 year old female. Excision in our case was curative. Glomus tumors are rare neoplasms that occasionally arise under the nail, fingertip, or within the foot.

Glomus tumors are benign painful tumors of the glomus body, a thermoregulatory shunt in the digits. Glomus tumors of the fingers and toes are associated with the monogenic disorder neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and are recently recognized as part of the NF1 phenotype.

Glomus tumors are not often encountered in the foot. Symptoms traditionally include the classic triad of pain, pressure, and cold sensitivity. This case report describes a variant location for a glomus tumor in the subcuticular tissue adjacent to the medial middle phalanx of the first toe.

intraosseous areas (interosseous glomus tumor) with glomus tumors have been reported such as in the ankle, proximal ulna, distal phalanx of the toes or fingers, and the fibula.

Mar 27, 2023 · There are three types of glomus tumors, classified based on their dominant component: Glomangiomas, or glomuvenous malformations (GVM), are rare cutaneous venous malformations that show glomus cells (undifferentiated smooth muscle cells, which are thermoregulatory units), along with the venous system in histology.[1]
