<p>Glomus tumors closely resemble the normal glomus body and have a predilection for skin and subcutaneous tissue. Clinically, Glomus tumors are present on the nail bed and are of less than 1 cm. We report a case of a male who presented with a 3 month history of swelling in the left thumb which was mildly tender. The swelling measured 6 x 6.5 cm. On microscopy the tumor showed mild atypia with increased mitotic activity. These features, by current definition, would suggest uncertain malignant potential.</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Glomus tumor; Glomangioma; Merkel cell carcinoma.</p><p>DOI: 10.3126/jpn.v1i1.4457</p> <p><em>Journal of Pathology of Nepal </em>(2011) Vol.1, 66-68 &nbsp;</p>
