Abstract
Glomus tumors are benign vascular neoplasms rarely found on the hand especially in the subungual region. Glomus tumors usually appear as a
reddish-green or pink nail plate with an old triad of local sensitivity, severe pain, and cold sensitivity. In addition to various clinical trials, imaging studies such
as Radiography, Ultrasonography and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are often helpful in diagnosis. Complete surgery is the treatment of choice to get
complete relief from symptoms and to avoid recurrence. The purpose of this article is to study the Clinical & MRI features of Subungual Glomus tumor in a
41-year-old woman who developed chronic pain in her right ring finger during her daily activities.
