Description
Summary:MASSON described glomus tumour as a benign neuromyoarterial proliferation. It represents approximately 1% -5% of all tumors of the hand. Pain is the main clinical sign. Definitive diagnosis is based on a body of evidence: clinical and radiological but only histology will allow confirmation. We conducted a retrospective study of 11 patient whose average age was of 36, 27 years (range 8-48 years), with a mean follow-up period of 34,40 months. All patients underwent surgical excision. This strategy allowed us to achieve satisfactory results.
