Management of a Case of Subungual Glomus Tumor by Periungual Surgical Excision: A Case Report. International Journal of Scientific Study. 2019 Jul; 7(4): 89-912321-595X2321-6379http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/209130Glomus 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.Glomus TumourSubungual regionPeriungual approachJournal ArticleIndiaJunior Resident, Department of Orthopaedics, Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, IndiaSenior Resident, Department of Orthopaedics, Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, IndiaProfessor, Department of Orthopaedics, Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, India
