Abstract: 

Glomus tumor is an uncommon condition that accounts for about 1% of all soft tissue tumors in the body. Glomus tumor is well known for its unusual presentation and long-standing symptoms due to delay in diagnosis. Authors have presented the clinical behavior and treatment of 6 patients with subungual soft tissue mass. Following surgical excision, all patients were cured of symptoms and at the end of follow up, no recurrence occurred; post operative nail deformity was insignificant.
