[A glomus tumor of the toe: a pediatric case report].
A glomus tumour of the third toe is quite rare in children. The authors report a clinical observation based on a misdiagnosis due to insufficient investigations, which led to a mistaken referral to a pediatric psychiatrist. Preoperative diagnosis requires a targeted MRI. Complete resection of the tumor results in an immediate resolution of the pain.
