Mediastinal glomus tumors are rarely recognized, and only seven cases have been reported in the literature. Here, we describe a rare mediastinal glomus tumor and review the characteristics of this rare clinical case. The patient was a 50-year-old female who presented with coughing for 3 months. Her chest computed tomography scan demonstrated a localized tumor in the posterior superior mediastin...

BACKGROUND Glomus tumors were first described by Wood in 1812 as painful subcutaneous tubercles. It is an uncommon benign neoplasm involving the glomus body, an apparatus that involves in thermoregulation of cutaneous microvasculature. Glomus tumor constitutes 1%-5% of all hand tumors. It usually occurs at the subungual region and more commonly in aged women. Its classical clinical triad consis...

Glomus tumors are neoplasms arising from the glomus body, which regulate skin temperature. They mostly benign and present in subungual area of a distal phalanx. However, they can occur extradigital location, may not be typical intradigital tumors. This makes it difficult to diagnose We report volar tumor mimicking painful ganglion with literature review.

Glomus tympanicum is a rare tumor. It classified as tumor of auricular system but there high rate recurrence. In this article, the authors present case female patient with glomus tympanicum. The has experiences 4 times recurrence within 5 years after first diagnosis. Full text available online at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q_2IJ_rIGv5vRsi4acRAdgIAZlx4Uvmb

We report a case of a 51-year-old man who was diagnosed with systemic reactive (AA) amyloidosis in association with untreated glomus jugulare and glomus caroticum tumors. He refused radiotherapy and renal replacement therapy. Paragangliomas, although rare, should be considered one of the tumors that can result in AA amyloidosis.

Glomus tumors are uncommon benign perivascular neoplasms that have rarely been described outside of their usual peripheral soft tissue sites. We report a unique case of glomus tumor of the renal pelvis in a 53-year-old woman who presented with microscopic hematuria associated with obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction and marked hydronephrosis. At initial gross examination, the tumor mimick...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Gastric glomus tumors are extremely rare, and presurgical confirmation is often impossible. The identification of clinical and radiologic characteristics of this tumor type is important for preoperative diagnosis and treatment planning. METHODS In this study, we analyzed 10 cases of gastric glomus tumors resected at a single institute over 9 years. RESULTS Eight of the patie...
