Introduction: Ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopy (UVF dermoscopy) is a novel diagnostic technique for identifying and diagnosing numerous skin tumors, inflammatory dermatoses, and infectious diseases. The ultraviolet (UV) band has a wavelength ranging from 10 to 400 nm. When intense UV radiation with shorter wavelengths strikes a target chromophore, visible light (VL) with a longer wavelength and lower energy is produced in the skin.

Article Synopsis
- Glomangiomas are rare vascular tumors mainly found in the hands and feet, with very few cases occurring in the forearm since 1991, often leading to a delayed diagnosis due to their uncommon nature.
- A 52-year-old male experienced 5 years of persistent forearm pain that did not improve with conservative treatments, prompting further diagnostic evaluation.
- Surgical removal of the identified glomangioma resulted in complete resolution of the patient's symptoms within two weeks.
