To the author's knowledge, no direct imaging technique has been used routinely in the diagnosis of glomus tumors. Twelve patients with proved glomus tumors of the fingers were examined with high-resolution real-time ultrasound (US). US depicted the tumor preoperatively in nine patients (75%). All detected tumors were hypoechoic on US scans. The smallest tumor detected was 3 mm in diameter. A limitation of US is in the detection of small, flattened subungual lesions. These preliminary observations indicate that US imaging with high-frequency transducers is useful in both the diagnosis and the preoperative three-dimensional localization of glomus tumors.
据作者所知，目前尚无直接成像技术被常规用于诊断血管球瘤。对12例经证实的手指血管球瘤患者进行了高分辨率实时超声（US）检查。超声在9例患者（75%）中术前显示出肿瘤。所有检测到的肿瘤在超声扫描中均为低回声。检测到的最小肿瘤直径为3毫米。超声的一个局限性在于检测小的、扁平的甲下病变。这些初步观察表明，高频探头超声成像在血管球瘤的诊断和术前三维定位中均有用。
