| ==Overview==
| |
| [[Ultrasound]] may be helpful in the diagnosis of glomus tumor. Findings on finger ultrasound suggestive of subungual glomus tumors include a 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.
