Abstract
|
|
|
|
From 1998 to 1997, we experienced 11 cases of glomus tumor in fingers[10 cases] and toe[1 case]. All patients were female, and showed typical pain, tenderness, and cold sensitivity of the lesions. The locations were subungal in nine cases and in pulp from distal phalangeal bone in two cases. Three patients had histories of one or two failed previous operations, and two patients had another glomus tumor in their bodies. All except one had satisfactory results subjertively and without complications. One patient was operated by the excision of the tumor including germinal matrix and surrounding tissues of nail bed, and had a nail deformity in follow-up. The glomus tumor is not malignant to recur or metastasize in the case of complete excision. However, the surgeon should be alert not to injure or repair the nail bed meticulously after the excision of the tumor to prevent a late deformity of nail.
