Abstract
We report an interesting case of chronic obscure pain over the toe tip. This earlier was misdiagnosed as chronic paronychia and operated twice. Obvious clinical appearance and high index of suspicion rendered it a glomus tumor on histopathology. We cite here a simple technique of advancement of flap for covering scarred defects created due to nail bed excision.
