The case report of a 65 year-old patient is described, who was attended in our clinic for subungueal pain on the first finger with nail elevation and deformity, which prevented her from wearing shoes. Surgery was performed on the lateral border of the nail and the third of the distal phalange of the first finger. The results of complementary tests and histological evaluation revealed a glomus tumor with no evidence of malignancy. At 30 days discomfort had completely disappeared, so that he returned to his usual working activities. Key words: glomus tumor; glomangioma; pathological anatomy. El tumor glómico (TG) en su variante solitaria 1 es una neoplasia infrecuente que se distribuye habitualmente en las zonas acras, sobre todo subungueales. Es un tumor relativamente raro (el 1 % de los tumores de partes blandas) 2 . Clínicamente se trata de nódulos violáceos, difíciles de apreciar si se localizan por debajo de la lámina ungueal.En la mitad de los casos, aproximadamente, producen depresiones (constatables radiológi-camente) en la falange situada debajo del tumor 2 .
