Abstract
A 63-year-old woman with solitary glomus tumor was reported. She had been suffering from intense pain on the right little finger tip without any eruption for the past fifteen years. About three years ago, she noticed a pea-sized nodule on the palmar surface of the right little finger tip, and had episodes of paroxysmal pain which occasionally radiated. Microscopically the bulk of the tumor was composed of glomus cells with limited vascular spaces. Neural elements were found only in the capsule of the tumor. The nodule was extirpated.
