Muscular hernias in the lower limb are a rare entity that have seldom been described in the literature, to the extent that the seminal paper on the subject remains a case series from 1929. Here, we present a case of tibialis anterior muscle hernia and discuss the aetiology behind the same. Furthermore, we attempt to amalgamate existing knowledge to provide some guidance for investigation and management of this important diagnostic consideration.

We are presenting a twenty-year-old female, who presented with distal left little finger pain for more than a year. Pain is very localized to the nail root, and increases in severity in cold weather or exposed to cold water. The patient was diagnosed based on history and physical examination to have a glomus tumor and surgical excision was done after that and histopathological examination confirmed the clinical diagnosis. The aim of this case is to present a rare disease and to show the pronounced treatment of such a case.
