Abstract
Glomus tumors of the subungual region are a group of benign hamartomas due to proliferation of glomus cells. The lesionpresents as a brownish purple lesion in the nail bed. Classical triad suggestive of the disease consists of severe pain, localtenderness, and sensitivity to cold. Diagnostic tests include Love’s pin test, Hildreth’s test, and transillumination test. Completesurgical excision by either the transungual or periungual approach usually provides symptomatic relief with little chance ofrecurrence. Periungual approach is associated with less complications.
