Glomus tumor of the stomach: A case report and review of the literature
Original language description
Glomus tumor is a benign soft tissue neoplasm which commonly affects the subungual region of the fingers. But the tumors can also arise in the other sites such as the antrum of the stomach. We are reporting a case of a glomus tumor of the stomach in a 71-year-old female patient who presented with dyspepsia. The tumor was confined to the lamina muscularis propria, it consisted of round cells with small uniform nuclei, which surrounded thin walled blood vessels. Immunohistochemistry revealed the tumor tobe positive for smooth muscle actin, vimentin, calponin, h-caldesmon and negative for c-KIT, S-100, CD34, CD99, synaptophysin, chromogranin, desmin and EMA. The proliferation marker Ki-67 was positive in less than 5 % of tumor cell nuclei. Glomus tumorsare usually benign but malignant cases have been published. Criteria for the malignant potential of gastric glomus tumors remain poorly defined.
