Glomus tumours are rare tumours accounting for only 1-5% of soft tissue tumours of the hand. They are described classically in the subungual region. We present the case of a 32-year-old woman with a late diagnosis of a glomus tumour that had caused her excruciating pain. Clinical examination was positive for Hildreth's sign and the Love test. Magnetic resonance imaging delineated the tumour, which was excised and confirmed histologically. This case highlights the continued delay in diagnosis of glomus tumours as well as the use of imaging in diagnosis and planning of surgery.
血管球瘤是罕见肿瘤,仅占手部软组织肿瘤的1% - 5%。经典描述为好发于甲下区域。我们报告一例32岁女性,其血管球瘤诊断延迟,已造成剧痛。临床检查Hildreth征和Love试验呈阳性。磁共振成像显示了肿瘤,随后将其切除并经组织学证实。该病例凸显了血管球瘤诊断的持续延迟以及影像学在诊断和手术规划中的应用。
