Abstract


Glomus tumours were rst described by HOYER in 1877 , while the rst complete clinical description was
given by MASSON in 1924. A glomus tumour is a rare neoplasm arising from the glomus body and mainly
found under the nail, on the ngertip or in the foot. The majority of glomus tumours are benign, but they can also show malignant
features in less than 2% cases. Our study includes 8 clinical cases of glomus tumours and our institutional experience in their
management.
