Abstract
Glomus tumor (GT) of limb extremities (finger, toe) is a rare tumor, especially in children. It is formed by hyperplasia of the neuro-myoarterial elements. Chronic pain is often associated. The diagnosis is made by the history and several clinical tests (Hildreth's and Love's tests). This diagnosis must be suspected in a child with chronic extremity pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most sensitive imaging test. Complete surgical excision of the lesion is curative. We report two clinical cases of glomus tumor of limb extremities (finger and toe) in two children – aged 7 and 12 – causing severe chronic pain; the diagnosis of this condition remains a challenge.
