Chronic pain in the fingernail due to glomus tumor: A wandered-off diagnosis

Namrata Majumdar Sayeri Mukhopadhyay Dipratim Das Pankaj Kumar Halder

Abstrak

Glomus tumors (GTs) are extremely uncommon benign tumors that are frequently excruciatingly painful. They are most frequently found in the subungual region of the fingertips and frequently go undiagnosed. Common symptoms include severe pain on touch, paroxysmal discomfort, and cold intolerance. For diagnosis, magnetic resonance imaging is helpful. Surgical excision of the tumor demonstrates remarkable recovery. We report the successful management of a young woman with severe chronic pain in her fingernails caused by a GT in the left ring finger that had been misdiagnosed as chronic paronychia for the past 5 years.
