title: Extradigital Symplastic Glomus Tumor of the Hand: Report of 2 Cases and Literature Review.
abstract: Glomus tumor is a rather common tumor of the hand, which presents with a classic triad of symptoms of high temperature, sensitivity and pain, and localized tenderness. Most glomus tumors are located in the digits, especially in subungueal areas. However, extradigital tumors are less frequent, and little is known about their clinical and histopathological features. Two cases of extradigital symplastic glomus tumor are presented. An active clinical and pathological awareness to avoid misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of this uncommon lesion is highlighted.
