The glomus tumor of volar aspect of digits is rare. Case Presentation: A case of glomus tumor was presented at the volar side of the distal phalanx of the ring finger of a 52-year-old woman. The tumor was painful and tender to palpation, yet insensitive to cold. The atypical location and insensitivity to cold led to a 4-year delay in diagnosis. After the surgical excision of the lesion, the extracted mass was sent for histologic evaluation and the diagnosis of glomus tumor was confirmed. One-year follow-up of the patient was event-free. Conclusions: Atypical glomus tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis of finger pain, even in the absence of characteristic diagnostic features https://jost.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jost/article/view/133 https://jost.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jost/article/download/133/120
