GLOMUS TUMOR OF FINGER: A CASE REPORT
Dr. Mukesh Kumar, Dr. Kapil Negi and Dr. Ramesh Kaundal*
ABSTRACT
Glomus tumors present as painful lesions, most commonly in the fingertips. These can present to outpatient clinics of multiple specialties. There is a long duration of symptoms before correct diagnosis and treatment. Treatment is complete surgical excision. Early diagnosis of glomus tumors is important to avoid lengthy treatment delays, chronic pain, disuse syndromes and psychiatric misdiagnoses. We report the diagnosis and successful surgical management of a case of a glomus tumor over the distal phalanx of right index finger in a 50 year old male patient.
