“…The vast majority of these tumors arise in the subungual area probably because of the existence of a large amount of glomus bodies 1 . It can be seen at the fingertips, ungual area, and in other parts of the body 4–6 . The tumor is more frequent in women.…”

Background and Objectives The dermoscopic features of glomus tumors have only been described in a few case reports. The aim of this research was to define the clinical and dermoscopic features of subungual glomus tumors. Methods Thirty‐two patients with subungual glomus tumors were evaluated retrospectively. Results On the photographs, longitudinal erythronychia, longitudinal leukonychia, punctate leukonychia, splinter hemorrhage, isolated capillaries, distal notching, distal subungual hyperkeratosis, onycholysis, and onychoschizia were found. There was no statistical difference between the rates of detection of these findings by evaluation from clinical photographs alone and from both clinical and dermoscopic photographs. While ramified vessels with bluish spots could be detected in only five of 26 cases with bluish spots in their clinical photographs, these ramified vessels were seen in 14 cases in bluish spots in dermoscopic photographs (P = 0.004). Compared to clinical examination, dermoscopy was able to detect blue spots in three more cases. Lesion duration was higher in the cases with ramified vessels (P = 0.018). Conclusions Dermoscopy seems to contribute to the clinical examination in displaying only ramified vessels located in bluish spots and in determining the localization of the subungual tumors. The presence of ramified vessel in the bluish spots is strongly related to lesion duration.
