Treatment of subungual glomus tumor.
We report four cases of chronic obscure pain in the finger tips. High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) findings helped diagnose the existence of a mass at the subungual area and all patients were treated with excision and biopsy. The pathological diagnosis was glomus tumor. HR-MRI is useful in the diagnosis of patients with subungual glomus tumor.
