A glomus tumor of the nail is a rare, benign vascular tumor arising from the glomus body, a structure responsible for temperature regulation. Although small, this tumor causes intense, localized pain, often affecting daily activities and sleep.
At Paras Hospital, glomus tumors of the nail are treated with precise diagnosis and expert surgical excision, offering complete and lasting relief.
