The glomus tumor or glomangioma are rare benign tumours developed with depends on the glomus neuromyoarteriel. They sit with predilection at the distal extremities of the fingers and especially on the nail bed. Our work is a retrospective study of 12 cases of glomus tumor of the hand, collected in Departement of Orthopaedic and Traumatology Surgery of Avicenne military hospital in Marrakech, Morocco, on a seven years period between January 2010 and December 2016. The goal of our work is to bring up the diagnostic problems of these tumors, to show the contribution of the modern imagery in the diagnosis, to underline the importance of the surgery and finally to evaluate our results and to compare them with the data of the recent literature.
