Glomus Tumor

 

It is a tumor arising from the vascular-nerve endings under the nail bed. It is benign, but it expands over time, causing abrasions on the bone underneath. Since it contains nerve endings, a sharp pain is felt when pressed on it. It is affected by the cold. It appears purple under the nail. Definitive diagnosis is best made with MRI, treatment is surgery. The tumor is removed.
