Superficial Fibromatosis Mimicking Glomus Tumor of the Second Toe.

Superficial Fibromatosis Mimicking Glomus Tumor of the Second Toe. Clin Orthop Surg. 2015 Sep;7(3):418-21 Authors: Jo HJ, Chae SU, Kim GD, Kim YJ, Choi DH, Park JI Abstract Various types of tumor can occur in the subungual space, including glomus tumors, subungual exostosis, hemangioma, epidermal cysts, and malignant tumors. While fibromatosis can occur at various sites throughout the body, it is very rarely seen in the toe. Here, we are the first to report a case of superficial fibromatosis mimicking a glomus tumor in the subungual space of the second toe. The presentation of this condition shows the possibility of encountering uncommon superficial fibromatosis in the distal phalanx of the toe, and suggests that superficial fibromatosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of a glomus tumor in the toe.
