“…Research has indicated that the trans‐ungual method of nail bed incision approach has a higher incidence of postoperative nail plate deformity and tumor recurrence compared to the latero‐ungual method. Therefore, the latero‐ungual method is recommended, particularly for bulky and diffuse tumors, when employing the nail bed incision approach 17 . Nam et al 18 .…”

“…Therefore, the latero-ungual method is recommended, particularly for bulky and diffuse tumors, when employing the nail bed incision approach. 17 Nam et al 18 conducted a study involving 32 cases of subungual GTs treated with nail bed incision surgery using horizontal and longitudinal incisions. During the follow-up, longitudinally oriented grooves/streaks, cracks, and tumor recurrence were observed in some cases.…”

Key Clinical MessageThe modified nail folding approach, a new surgical technique, has been shown to be safe and effective for the treatment of subungual glomus tumors, providing clinicians with a new treatment option for patients with this condition.AbstractGlomus tumors (GTs) are rare benign tumors that originate from the glomus body in the skin of the fingertips, toes, and nail beds. GTs are more prevalent in women than in men and can occur sporadically or as part of an inherited condition known as multiple GTs. The exact cause of GTs is unknown, but it is believed that mutations in the cells of the glomus body contribute to their development. In this study, we present the efficacy of a novel surgical technique called the modified nail folding approach for treating subungual GTs. We report a case series involving 17 patients who underwent the nail folding approach for surgical removal of subungual GTs. The primary objective of this article is to provide evidence supporting the safety and effectiveness of this technique. Additionally, we aim to introduce clinicians to a new, secure, and efficient treatment option for patients with subungual GTs.

“…Preliminary research has indicated that genetic modifications involve BRAF, NOTCH, PDGFRB, KRAS, and SMARCB1 [ 18 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. Moreover, certain authors propose a traumatic etiology, drawing from a documented case involving a digital glomangioma [ 39 ]. Glomus tumors tend to affect individuals between 20 to 40 years old with female preponderance [ 23 , 40 ].…”

Contemporary literature lacks examples of intradural, extramedullary spinal glomangiomas. Moreover, glomus tumors in general are exceedingly rare among benign spinal tumors and are mostly located within epidural space or within intervertebral foramen, and only a few cases have been documented to date. This report provides a detailed analysis of the clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, surgical intervention, and pathological findings of a 45-year-old patient experiencing progressive locomotor deterioration. The tumor was surgically excised, and subsequent histological examination identified it as a representative of glomus tumors—a glomangioma. Notably, this represents a unique case as it was the first example of such a tumor being discovered intradurally. Radical surgical excision remains the modality of choice in most benign spinal tumors of this localization. Although the malignant transformation of glomus tumors within the spine has not been documented thus far, cases have arisen in other areas. Consequently, we will investigate potential oncological treatments for cases with malignant potential and highlight advancements in surgical techniques for benign intradural spinal tumors.

Solitary Glomus Tumor on the Base of the Right Thumb: A Rare Case Report and a Literature Review from Saudi Arabia

A glomus tumor (GT) is a rare and usually benign tumor that originates from the glomus body, which is involved in thermoregulation in the skin. Solitary or multiple, digital or extra-digital, these cutaneous tumors can be benign or malignant. This report describes the diagnosis and surgical management of a solitary glomus tumor at the base of the right thumb in a young Sudanese woman. The diagnosis of glomus tumor was confirmed by medical history, sonographic findings and histopathological report. The lesion was excised via direct complete excision under local anesthesia, resulting in a complete resolution of symptoms. Owing to its high sensitivity level, the use of ultrasound is appropriate to evaluate a lesion suspected to be a glomus tumor. A clinician needs to take into consideration the likelihood of glomus tumors when assessing a patient who has a skin lesion on fingers, toes, or extra-digital area, with pain triggered by temperature changes, pressure, or touch. Additionally, this report includes a review of recent globally reported cases of glomus tumor in the hand to highlight the distinctiveness of this report in context to its atypical location in the area of the thenar eminence and underscoring it as a unique report of its kind from Saudi Arabia.
