Abstract

|
|
Glomus tumors are rare benign neoplasm commonly found in the subcutaneous layer on nail bed that arises from a neuromyoarterial glomus. Histologically, they are classified into three group; solid glomus tumor, glomangioma, and glomangiomyoma which is the most uncommon. Unlike other type, glomangiomyomas have rarely been described in the nail bed. Although glomus tumors are often diagnosed primarily by their characteristic clinical symptoms, imaging modalities, such as ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging can be helpful. We present a rare case of a recurrent subungal glomangiomyoma that diagnosed by ultrasonography and treated with surgical excision.
