Overview
There are no established risk factors for glomus tumor; however, an epidemiologic relationship may exist between glomus tumors and neurofibromatosis.
Risk Factors
- There are no established risk factors for glomus tumor; however, an epidemiologic relationship may exist between glomus tumors and neurofibromatosis.[1]
- A strong association between type I neurofibromatosis and glomus tumors has been identified. In neurofibromatosis patients with glomus tumors, the sex distribution, tumor location, and tumor burden appear similar to those in patients with isolated glomus tumors.[2]
- It is strongly recommend that one should suspect a glomus tumor in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 if such patients have symptoms from finger pulp or nails.[3]
