Glomus tumor is uncommon tumor with an incidence of about 1% in soft tissue tumors and the single most common location is the subungual region of the finger. Many reports have emphasized that glomus tumors were difficult to diagnose and that the result of surgical removal was good, but nail deformity has received little attention. Most of authors removed the entire nail or partially splitted the nail to exposure the nail bed and tumor. Nobody reported whether nail deformity after operation was present or not. But, an abnormal nail is both a cosmetic and a functional problem in that catches on objects. In this study, our attention was postoperative nail deformity as well as the results of surgical removal. Seven patients(eight cases) who were diagnosed as a subungal glomus tumor in the hand were treated by surgical excision without removal of the nail and followed over twenty two months. And then we report on our experience with 8 cases of subungual glomus tumor which were successfully treated by complete excision without nail deformity.
