A rare case of multiple subungual glomus tumours in a neurofibromatosis type 1 patient

J Yuen et al. Hand Surg. 2015.

Abstract

Glomus tumours are uncommon lesions of the digit. They tend to be solitary. Only a small number of multifocal cases have been published, most of which are linked to an underlying genetic disorder. Here we report an unusual case of multifocal glomus tumours in the same hand in a patient suffering from neurofibromatosis type 1.

Keywords: Glomus Tumours; Multifocal; Neurofibromatosis Type 1; Subungual.
