Symplastic glomus tumors are a rare subtype of glomus tumor defined by nuclear atypia without additional markers of malignancy such as large size, deep location, or atypical/prevalent mitotic figures. Glomus tumors, including the symplastic subtype, most commonly present in the subungual area with rarer extradigital presentation. To our knowledge, there have been less than 25 cases of symplastic glomus tumors described in the literature.

Vascular anomalies (VA) are classified as either vascular tumors or vascular malformations. Vascular tumors are characterized by the neoplastic proliferation of endothelial cells, whereas vascular malformations result from defects in the pathways that regulate the development of vascular channels during embryogenesis. Dermatological ultrasound has emerged as a critical diagnostic tool for distinguishing VA from other conditions and differentiating among various types of VA by providing detailed imaging characteristics.

Clinically, they are often associated with a symptom triad of moderate pain, cold sensitivity, and point tenderness. These tumors are often not considered during a clinical workup due to their rarity and can be misdiagnosed due to their diverse clinical presentations.
