BACKGROUND: Glomus tumors are rare neoplasms accounting for less than 2% of all soft tissue tumors but multiple lesions may be seen in up to 10% of the patients. Solitary glomus tumor (GT) most frequently appears as small nodule in specific locations such as subungual region or deep dermis. However, rarely these entities have been observed in extracutaneous locations such as the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, respiratory tracts, and other visceral organs. A small fraction of the GTs may present as tumors of uncertain malignant potential or as malignant glomus tumors. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a patient with multiple glomus tumors on the time of diagnosis, which was histologically diagnosed as an atypical glomus tumor following resection of a tumor thrombus in the left renal vein, inferior vena cava trombus with intracardial extension, and mitral valve specimen. The intramuscular lesion from the thigh was diagnosed as a glomus tumor of uncertain malignant potential. Further examinations revealed multiple lesions trough her body: kidneys, breast, heart and subcutaneous tissue. The diagnosis of glomus tumor of uncertain malignant potential versus glomus tumor with low malignant potential could be quite challenging, and the clinical course may be as a determining factor for final diagnosis. CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this is the only known case of glomus tumor with multiple organ involvement and aggressive biological behavior at presentation.

“…GT in visceral locations are very rare and mostly found in gastrointestinal tract, especially gastric antrum [3,4] and duodenum, although tumors in colon [5] , trachea [6] , bronchus [7] , lungs [8,9] , kidney [10,11] , urinary bladder [12] , ovaries [13] , liver [14,15] , breast [16] , bone [17] , skeletal muscle [18] and other organs were described. The incidence of gastric GT is 1% of GISTs [5] .…”

Glomus tumor is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor, mostly found in acral skin or superficial soft tissues, but it can occur in other locations. Glomus tumors in different locations share similar histological and immunohistochemical characteristics, although some aberrant features can be identified. We report a case of 41 year-old male with gastric glomus tumor, preoperatively diagnosed as CD117 negative gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Apart from the rare location, glomus tumor showed some other unusual features -peritumoral polytypic plasmacytosis and florid mesothelial hyperplasia. Although gastric glomus tumors are rare, they should be included in differential diagnosis of submucosal gastric tumors.

Understanding the anatomy of the male breast is central to developing a differential diagnosis and delivering optimal care in male patients presenting with breast complaints. Diseases in the male breast can affect the skin and subcutaneous tissues, stroma and glandular elements, and neurovascular and lymphatic structures. Although the most commonly encountered disease entity is gynecomastia, men can develop many other benign and neoplastic diseases, including primary breast cancer. By incorporating clinical presentation with imaging findings on mammography and ultrasound, the breast imager can more effectively establish the correct diagnosis in males.
