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