Abstract
Glomus tumor (Glomangioma) is a rare slow growing benign tumour,exquisitely painful tumor constituting about 2% of all hand tumors. It arises from a neuromyoarterialglomus,which is an arteriovenous anastomosis functioning withoutan intermediary capillary bed. Normal glomus bodies are found in the dermal retinacular layer of the skin and thought to aid in the thermoregulation of skin circulation and to be highly concentrated in the finger tips, particularly beneath the nail bed. 1Glomus tumors that was described first by Masson in 1942, can occur anywhere in the skin or soft tissue,and the most common site is the finger . The tumor usually presents as a painful, firm, purplish solitary nodule of the extremities, most commonly in the nail bed.We report case ofglomustumour over the left ring finger, in a 31 year old male.
