Diagnóstico do tumor glômico pela dermatoscopia do leito e da matriz ungueal

Abstract

Surgery is the best treatment for glomus tumors. Sometimes this can be a challenging procedure because, despite being a well-defined tumor, its visualization can be difficult. The use of nail bed and matrix dermoscopy facilitates the diagnosis and aids in the localization and demarcation of the tumor. It is a simple and low-cost procedure that does not involve additional risks to the patient who will undergo surgery. © 2010 by Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia.
