They usually occur in the subungual region of phalanx, and present with a classic clinical triad of localized tenderness, cold hypersensitivity, and excruciating paroxysmal pain. The aim of this study was to review 45 cases of glomus tumor according to the clinical, radiological and therapeutic characteristics, and the clinical and functional outcomes of surgical treatment.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n               Materials and methods A retrospective review was made of 45 glomus tumors of the upper extremity operated on between June 2005 and January 2019. Data were collected of demographic characteristics and the diagnostic, immunohistochemical, therapeutic and postoperative clinical findings.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n               Results The patients comprised 69 % females and 31 % males with a median age of 41 years at the time of surgery. The most commonly affected anatomic location was the digits (87 %). Of the 39 cases with an affected digit, there was a predominance of the middle finger in 28 % and the peri-subungual area in 51 %. There was no recurrence or need for secondary surgical intervention in any patient in this study. The mean QuickDASH score was 1.47 at mean 66 months follow-up.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n               Conclusions Glomus tumor, which is usually seen in the middle finger of middle-aged women, presents with excruciating paroxysmal pain out of proportion to the tumor size. The long-term outcomes after surgical loupe-assisted surgery with a transungual approach were seen to be good, without local recurrence and an acceptable rate of postoperative nail dystrophy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1333-2459","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,16]],"date-time":"2021-02-16T14:53:41Z","timestamp":1613487221000},"page":"72-75","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Glomus tumors of the upper extremity"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1945-3715","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"H\u00fcseyin Bilgehan","family":"\u00c7evik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ankara Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit, Training and Research Hospital, Orthopaedics and Traumatology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00c7agla Amutkan","family":"\u00c7i\u00e7ek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istanbul Dr Lufti Kirdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital, Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sibel","family":"Kayahan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istanbul Dr Lufti Kirdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital, Pathology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seyit Ali","family":"G\u00fcm\u00fcstas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istanbul Dr Lufti Kirdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital, Orthopaedics and Traumatology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gaye Taylan","family":"Filinte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istanbul Dr Lufti Kirdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital, Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"691","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-197254040-00001","article-title":"Glomus tumors of the hand: review of the literature and report on twenty-eight cases","volume":"54","author":"R E Carroll","year":"1972","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Am"},{"issue":"S 01","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S35","DOI":"10.1097\/SAP.0000000000000684","article-title":"Glomus Tumor: Twenty-Year Experience and Literature Review","volume":"76","author":"T Chou","year":"2016","journal-title":"Ann Plast Surg"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"181","DOI":"10.1177\/1066896914567330","article-title":"Clinical and histopathological diagnosis of glomus tumor: an institutional experience of 138 cases","volume":"23","author":"M Mravic","year":"2015","journal-title":"Int J Surg Pathol"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"316","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-109538","article-title":"Extradigitaler Glomustumor","volume":"48","author":"F Unglaub","year":"2016","journal-title":"Handchir Mikrochir Plast Chir"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"140","DOI":"10.1177\/1753193413481302","article-title":"The DASH and the QuickDASH instruments.
