Abstract: Abstract:The glomus tumor is an uncommon benign neoplasm of glomus cells. In the majority of the cases it is presented as a solitary painful papule in the subungual region. We report a rare case of a patient with two individual synchronous glomus tumors under the nail bed of the same finger. Keywords: Glomus tumor; Nail diseases; Nails; Neoplasms, multiple primary; Surgical procedures, minor Resumo: O tumor glômico é uma neoplasia benigna de células glômicas. Na maioria dos casos se apresenta como uma pápula s… Show more

“…Most glomus tumors are solitary. Few cases of synchronous glomus tumors on the same digit [ 12 ] or in adjacent digits [ 13 ] have been reported. It is highly unlikely to have synchronous tumors in adjacent digits, as in the present case.…”

“… 3 Nicolas et al. 4 reported that in all 24 patients with recurrent pain after previous excision of a glomus tumor of the fingertip, MR imaging revealed a nodule consistent with the diagnosis of a recurrent glomus tumor. In 13 (54%) of 24 patients, the nodule had typical features of a glomus tumor.…”

“…Multiple glomus tumor is a rare benign neoplasm that arises from the glomus body in the stratum reticularis of the dermis, the highly specialized arteriovenous anastomosis for thermoregulation. 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 Although several cases of multiple glomus tumor involving the anterior thigh, 5 submandibular and parotid regions, 6 the torso, 7 have been reported, radiological characteristics on MRI images for multiple glomus tumor have not been described. We reported here both pre-operative and post-operative MR images from a case of 16 years old girl with multiple glomus tumor that partially coalesced on the anterior side of the leg.…”

“…Glomus tumors affect young adult individuals, particularly between their fourth and fifth decade of life, being seven times more frequent in women ( 5 ) , at a mean age of 39 ( 6 ) . Clinically, hyperalgesia is the cardinal symptom of this tumor, and in 90% of cases the triad paroxysmal pain, local hyperalgesia and hypersensitivity to cold temperatures is present ( 5 , 7 ) . The symptoms are triggered by unimportant trauma and variations in temperature, improving with immersion into tepid water ( 2 ) .…”
