Overview

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for glomus tumor. Surgical resection may be performed via several approaches including nail bed margin approach, Trap-door technique, Lee et al's nail plate conservation, transungal, lateral subperiosteal, and Laterodigital Keyser-Littler approach.

Surgery

  • 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]
