Abstract
Glomus tumors are caused by hyperplasia of the glomus body. Extra-digital glomus tumors are occasionally challenging to identify.

Tumors must therefore be considered in the differential diagnosis of individuals with extra digital lesions that present at the wrist with stabbing pain, hypersensitivity, paroxysmal pain, and MRI findings of subcutaneous low T1 high T2 signal cystic lesion.
