Abstract
We present a study of sixteen patients with glomus tumor- including clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and follow up. This rare but interesting tumor is not easily visible, palpable or imaged on radiography. Though the patient is symptomatic early, diagnosis is usually delayed. The treating clinician needs to have a high index of suspicion. Complete cure involves excision of the tumor.
