Abstract
Glomus tumor is a distinctive neoplasm characterized by the presence of cells that resemble the modified smooth muscle cells of the normal glomus body, which is a specialized form of arteriovenous anastomosis. We report a case of multiple subungual glomus tumors associated with neurofibromatosis and review the literature on the pathophysiology of this association.Entities:
