Overview

Symptoms of glomus tumor include hypersensitivity to cold and paroxysmal pain at a well defined site.[1]

History

  • A detailed history from the patient may be helpful. A positive history of trauma may be present.[2]
  • A positive family history may be present in patients with multiple glomus tumors (autosomal dominant).

Symptoms

They are often painful, and the pain is reproduced when the lesion is placed in cold water.

Signs

These tumors tend to have a bluish discoloration, although a white appearance is also noted. Elevation of the nail bed can occur
