Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for glomus tumor.
Surgery
- Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for glomus tumor.[1]
- Surgical resection may be performed via several approaches:[2]
- Straightforward excision using a nail bed margin approach[3]
- Trap-door technique[4]
- A technique described by Lee et al designed to conserve the nail plate itself[5]
- Transungual
- The nail plate is removed and an incision is made on the nail bed.
- The nail bed is elevated to expose the tumor adequately for removal.
- It is then followed by extensive repair of the nail bed.
- The transungual approach is the simplest and gives the best exposure of the nail bed.
- Lateral subperiosteal
- An incision is made dorsal to the mid-lateral line.
- Dissection is performed to the distal phalanx and a dorsal flap consisting of skin, nail plate, nail bed and germinal matrix tissue is elevated in a single layer.
- It may have a higher risk of incomplete excision.
- Laterodigital Keyser-Littler approach
- This is a high mid-lateral approach from below the paronychial fold.
- The distal phalangeal ligament (which provides lateral support to the nail matrix and nail plate) is identified and retracted.
- The nail matrix is elevated over the ligament and the dorsal cortex of the distal phalanx, followed by resection of the tumor.

Surgical extraction of a glomus tumor from a fingertip. The tumor is the translucent oblate spheroid in the center of the incision, approximate horizontal dimension is 4 millimeters.[6]

- Removal of subungual glomus tumors has been reported to have recurrence rates of 2-13% (highest reported at 50%) and nail bed deformity rates of 0-19%.[3]
- Some recurrence rates have been reported at 50%.
- Recurrence can be due to incomplete excision or development of a new lesion, with the probability of recurrence of glomus tumors in general being highest for subungual glomus tumors.[4]
