Overview
If left untreated, patients with glomus tumors may progress to develop pain and nail discoloration. Common complication of the glomus tumor includes malignant change in multiple tumors. Common complications of glomus tumors post operatively include nail deformities and recurrence. Prognosis is generally excellent for solitary glomus tumors and malignant glomus tumors treated with wide excision. However, the prognosis is poor for malignant glomus tumors with widespread metastases.[1][2][3]
Natural History
If left untreated, patients with glomus tumors may progress to develop pain and nail discoloration.[2]
Complications
- Common complication of the glomus tumor includes malignant change in multiple glomus tumors (glomangiosarcomas).[1]
- Very rare and usually only locally invasive
- Widespread metastases may occur which are fatal
- Common complications of glomus tumors post operatively include:[1][2]
- Nail deformity
- Recurrence
- Recurrence is thought to be a result of incomplete excision or, in the case of late recurrence, development of a new lesion at or near the excision site. Excision of the capsule of the tumor is required to prevent local recurrence.[4]
Prognosis
Prognosis is generally excellent for solitary glomus tumors and malignant glomus tumors treated with wide excision. However, the prognosis is poor for malignant glomus tumors with widespread metastases.[1][3]
