History
- A detailed history from the patient may be helpful. A positive history of trauma may be present.[1]
- A positive family history may be present in patients with multiple glomus tumors (autosomal dominant).
Symptoms

- Pain
- Paroxysmal
- Cold sensitivity

- May worsen at night
- Disappears when a tourniquet is applied
- Subungual glomus tumors are particularly painful
- Multiple glomus tumors are usually painless.
