Glomus tumor is a rare and benign vascular tumor, arising from neuromyoarterial glomus bodies. It is generally localized on the hand and especially the nail bed and is usually solitary. Pain, tenderness, and temperature sensitivity are the classic triad of symptoms of a glomus tumor. Owing to the small lesions and absence of specific skin features in the nail bed and nail matrix localizations, glomus tumor may not be taken into consideration. In particular, presentation of patients to practitioners of different disciplines for treatment of pain may cause diagnostic delays. Surgical excision is the most effective treatment approach and provides histopathologic diagnosis and rapid improvement of symptoms. This article describes a patient with a subungual glomus tumor for which surgical excision was performed.
血管球瘤是一种罕见的良性血管肿瘤，起源于神经肌动脉血管球。它通常位于手部，尤其是甲床，且通常为单发。疼痛、压痛和温度敏感性是血管球瘤的典型三联征症状。由于甲床和甲母质部位的病变较小且缺乏特异性皮肤特征，血管球瘤可能未被考虑在内。特别是，患者因疼痛向不同学科的医生求治可能会导致诊断延误。手术切除是最有效的治疗方法，可提供组织病理学诊断并迅速改善症状。本文描述了一名接受手术切除的甲下血管球瘤患者。
