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.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images.

D005918 Glomus Tumor A blue-red, extremely painful vascular neoplasm involving a glomeriform arteriovenous anastomosis (glomus body), which may be found anywhere in the skin, most often in the distal portion of the fingers and toes, especially beneath the nail. It is composed of specialized pericytes (sometimes termed glomus cells), usually in single encapsulated nodular masses which may be several millimeters in diameter (From Stedman, 27th ed). CHEMODECTOMA, a tumor of NEURAL CREST origin, is also sometimes called a glomus tumor. Glomangioma,Glomangiomas,Glomus Tumors,Tumor, Glomus,Tumors, Glomus
