[Glomus tumors of the fingers]

"Glomus tumors of the fingers. Glomus tumors of the fingers are benign lesions. The main symptom is a paroxysmal pain with particular hypersensiti¬vity to temperature changes. They are rare in their census, but there is very probably a very high rate of misdiagnosis, due to the very ignorance of their existence by the medical corpus. Their diagnosis is based on a typical clinical exami¬nation and characteristic imaging. The only treatment is their complete surgical resection, which is essential for recovery. Different surgical techniques have been described in the medical literature to achieve a painless finger without nail deformity after tumor resection, while limiting recurrences."
