Glomus tumors of the hand are benign lesions that historically have often eluded a timely diagnosis and effective therapy. The reason for this difficulty in diagnosis lies partially in the rarity of these lesions. A certain degree of suspicion as well as a knowledge of the appropriate workup are necessary. In this article we submit an algorithmic approach to the diagnosis and treatment of these lesions as a guideline for clinical management. A description of our preferred method of extirpation is provided.

We report a case of bowel injury as a result of an isolated gunshot wound to the scrotum. Our experience with penetrating scrotal trauma reveals a high rate of associated injuries, the most common being trauma to the soft tissue of the thigh. Our case emphasizes the importance of a thorough preoperative and operative evaluation of patients with penetrating scrotal trauma.
