Overview
A detailed history from the patient may be helpful. A positive history of trauma may be present. A positive family history may be present in patients with multiple glomus tumors (autosomal dominant).Symptoms of glomus tumor include hypersensitivity to cold and paroxysmal pain at a well defined site.
History
- A detailed history from the patient may be helpful. A positive history of trauma may be present.[1]

- May worsen at night
- Extreme point tenderness in the region of the tumor
