Select the correct answer using the code given below.
To determine the correct statements about a glomus tumour, let's examine each statement based on medical knowledge:
- Statement 1: It arises from Sucquet-Hoyer canals.
Glomus tumours are indeed derived from the glomus body, specifically from the structures known as Sucquet-Hoyer canals. Thus, this statement is correct. - Statement 2: Its usual site is the nail bed.
Glomus tumours are typically found in the nail bed, accounting for their common site of occurrence, as they are often subungual (under the nail). Therefore, this statement is correct. - Statement 3: It is usually a small purple nodule.
Glomus tumours characteristically present as small, rounded nodules that often appear purplish or bluish due to their vascular nature. This statement is correct. - Statement 4: It is painless.
Contrary to this statement, glomus tumours are often painful, especially when touched, due to their sensitivity to temperature and pressure changes. Hence, this statement is incorrect.
Based on the analysis above, the correct statements are 1, 2, and 3. Therefore, the correct answer is 1, 2 and 3.
