title: Glomus tumours in the long finger and in the thumb of a young patient with neurofibromatosis-1 (Nf-1).
abstract: Glomus tumours are rare in adults, and such tumours may be associated with neurofibromatosis-1 (Nf-1). Here we describe successful treatment of two glomus tumours initially in the long finger and, one year later, in the thumb in a 17-year young girl with Nf-1.
