Abstract
Glomus tumor is a neoplastic proliferation of glomus body, which is a thermoregulatory neuromyoarterial unit seen predominantly in the subungual regions. These tumors are found mainly in the digits. Extra digital location is uncommon and involvement of face is rare. However, possibility of glomus tumor in a subcutaneous nodule of face should be considered particularly if it shows typical triad of intense paroxysmal pain, exquisite tenderness and sensitivity to cold. Though, the typical findings may be absent. Diagnosis depends upon high index of suspicion. Histopathological examination of the lesion confirms the diagnosis. Here, we present a case of 29 years old male who presented with a small painless subcutaneous nodule on the face.
