Subungual Glomus Tumor -Case Report
Abstract
We report two patients who complained
of chronic pain in the tips of finger and
toe. High-resolution magnetic resonance
imaging findings helped diagnose the existence
of amass at thesubungual area
and all patients were treated with excision
and biopsy. Thepathological diagnosis
wasglomus tumor. MRI is useful in
the diagnosis of patientswith subungual
glomus tumor.
