[Glomus tumor. Report of 5 cases and a review of the literature].

Five case reports about patients with glomus tumors surgically treated at Angiology and Orthopedics Department of the Hospital Provisional Docente "Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola" in Diego de Avila are going to be presented. In all patients diagnosis was confirmed by anatomopathologic study. We have to note in all the five cases the report of specific pain produced after unimportant traumatisms and brusk changes on the temperature at tumor level. Is also remarkable in one from the five cases an eroded area on the distal phalanx from the fourth right finger produced by tumor, which was localized at nail base. A brief literature review is also presented.
