==Overview==
[[Ultrasound]] may be helpful in the diagnosis of glomus tumor. Findings on finger ultrasound suggestive of subungual glomus tumors include subungual hypoechoic lesion at the region of maximum tenderness. [[Doppler ultrasound]] may be helpful in the diagnosis of glomus tumor. Findings on [[doppler ultrasound]] suggestive of [[glomangioma]] include hypervascularity of the tumor.<ref name="pmid24470715">{{cite journal| author=Grover C, Khurana A, Jain R, Rathi V| title=Transungual surgical excision of subungual glomus tumour. | journal=J Cutan Aesthet Surg | year= 2013 | volume= 6 | issue= 4 | pages= 196-203 | pmid=24470715 | doi=10.4103/0974-2077.123401 | pmc=PMC3884883 | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=24470715  }} </ref>
