Overview

X rays may be helpful in the diagnosis of glomus tumor. Findings on x rays suggestive of glomus tumor may include a marginated bone erosion or thinning of the adjacent cortical bone.

X Ray

Glomus tumor is diagnosed based on symptoms and physical examination. However, preoperative localization of the tumor is needed in order to determine the size of the lesion ensuring complete resection and avoiding recurrence.[1]

An x-ray may be helpful in the preoperative diagnosis of glomus tumor. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of glomus tumor include:[1]

  • Thinning of the cortical bone in the phalanges
  • Marginated bone erosion

X-rays usually detect large tumors while smaller lesions might appear normal.

X-rays are more useful when it comes to differentiating between glomus tumors and subungal exostosis.[2]
