Abstract
Defects created by glomus tumor resection are usually closed primarily or with the use of a skin graft or a local flap, The authors present a case with a large defect on the radial side of a dominant thumb wher e, to replace missing tissue with the same type of tissue, a custom-ma de free toe transfer was used, to provide a good functional and aesthe tic reconstruction.
