| Popis: |
The glomus tumor is a benign tumor with a low incidence compared to other degenerative tumors. They are to the detriment of the glomic body, a thermoregulatory device for cutaneous microvascularization. The diagnosis is often late, scented for years, which leads to significant morbidity in patients. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman with one year of pain in her right middle finger, who was diagnosed as a glomus tumor, with clinical and dermoscopic description, and who was surgically removed with the completion of a dermoscopy of the piece of excision and of the histopathological result compatible with a glomus tumor. The patient was relieved of functional signs immediately after surgery and the evolution noted no deformation of the affected nail without recurrence of symptoms with a follow-up of 3 years. Glomus tumors of the hand are a rare entity and the dermoscopic description of the tumor is poorly reported. |
