Conclusion

Overall, glomus tumors are rare and challenging to diagnosis and should be in the differential in any symptomatic patient with a painful soft-tissue mass of the wrist. Advanced imaging studies, such as MRI, can assist in localization, diagnosis, and preoperative planning. Histology and immunohistochemistry are essential to differentiate glomus tumor from other vascular tumors, and complete excision is necessary to prevent local recurrence.
