Abstract

Glomus tumor according to MASSON is a benign neuro-myo-arterial proliferation. It accounts for approximately 1%-5% of all hand tumors. Pain is the main clinical sign. The diagnosis of certainty is based on a bundle of arguments: clinical and radiological, but only histology allows confirmation. A series of 24 patients was reviewed retrospectively, the average age was 35 years with an average follow-up of 4 years , and extremes of 21 and 60 years. Surgical excision was performed in all patients. This strategy allowed us to obtain satisfactory results.
