Overview

Solitary glomus tumors must be differentiated from leiomyoma and eccrine spiradenoma.[1] Multiple glomus tumors must be differentiated from other diseases such as cavernous hemangioma and blue rubber-bleb nevus syndrome.[1][2]

Differential diagnosis

The presence of pain in most cases means the differential diagnosis must include other painful tumors that can occur in the digits:
