Overview
Solitary glomus tumors must be differentiated from leiomyoma and eccrine spiradenoma.[1] Multiple glomus tumors must be differentiated from other diseases such as cavernous hemangioma and blue rubber-bleb nevus syndrome.[1][2]
Differential diagnosis
The presence of pain in most cases means the differential diagnosis must include other painful tumors that can occur in the digits:[3]
- Neuroma
- Eccrine spiradenoma
- Leiomyoma
- Ganglion
- Exostosis
- Causalgia
- Complex regional pain syndrome type 2
- Gouty arthritis
- Calcinosis
- Solitary glomus tumors must be differentiated from the following:[1]
- Leiomyoma
- Eccrine spiradenoma
- Multiple glomus tumors must be differentiated from other diseases such as:[1][2][4]
- Cavernous hemangioma
- Blue rubber-bleb nevus syndrome
- Glomus tumors must also be differentiated from the following:[4][5]
- Blue nevi
- Dermatologic manifestations of Kaposi sarcoma
- Dermatologic manifestations of schwannoma
- Maffucci syndrome
- Solid and cystic hidradenoma
- Myopericytoma
- Myofibromatosis (myofibroma)
- Angiosarcoma
- Dermatofibroma
- Capillary hemangioma
