Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of glomus tumor. Finding on finger ultrasound suggestive of subungual glomus tumor include subungual hypoechoic lesion at the region of maximum tenderness. Doppler ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of glomus tumor. Finding on doppler ultrasound suggestive of glomangioma include hypervascularity of the tumor.

Doppler Ultrasound
- Doppler ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of glomus tumor.
- Finding on doppler ultrasound suggestive of glomangioma include hypervascularity of the tumor.
