A Glomus tumor is a rare benign neoplasm arising from the glomus body which is a neuroarterial structure and mainly found under the nail, on the fingertip or in the foot.

She underwent radiological investigations of Skiagram Hand, High resolution ultrasonography with color Doppler of Local Region (Finger), and MRI Finger; thereby diagnosis of glomus tumor was made. Subsequently it was surgically removed; Histopathological result was consistent with glomus tumour.
