Abstract

Glomus tumor is a rare vascular tumor with a predominant subungual location in the hand. Different dorsal transungual surgical approaches have been described for excision of glomus tumor. In this report, the volar approach has been used for extirpation of subungual glomus tumor with osseous erosion and perforated distal phalanx in two patients. When feasible, by applying volar approach, the risk of nail deformity, which is a major concern after the tumor excision, can be eliminated.
