“…EUS-FNA (including written FNA) was performed in thirteen cases, and GGT was diagnosed in eight of these thirteen cases; three of the remaining five cases had a suspected neuroendocrine tumor (NET) (Table 2). Seven of the eight cases with a preoperative diagnosis of GGT made using EUS-FNA showed a hypoechoic lesion and a median maximum diameter of 24.5 mm (15-30 mm) (Table 3) [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

A gastric glomus tumor (GGT) is a rare gastric submucosal tumor that can become malignant. A preoperative diagnosis would allow for a more informed decision regarding the treatment strategy. We present the case of an asymptomatic man with a GGT that was diagnosed during a preoperative examination. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed in a 64-yearold man and revealed a submucosal tumor at the lesser curvature of the antrum of the stomach. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed a 12-mm-sized hypoechoic tumor in the second and third layers of the stomach wall. A histologic diagnosis of GGT was made using endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography was performed, but the identification of the tumor was difficult owing to poor enhancement. The gradual growth of the tumor made it necessary to perform an operation. Laparoscopy and endoscopy cooperative surgery was performed without any complications. The tumor cells were immunohistochemically positive for alpha-smooth muscle actin, h-caldesmon, and collagen type IV but were negative for desmin, discovered on GIST-1, S-100 protein, cluster of differentiation 34, epithelial membrane antigen, and cytokeratin AE1/AE3. The final diagnosis was identical to the preoperative diagnosis made using EUS-FNA. EUS-FNA is a useful method for the preoperative diagnosis of small submucosal tumors, including GGTs.

“…Traditionally, surgery is the first choice of treatment for gastric glomus tumor. [25,44,45] Endoscopic resection, such as ESD and EFTR, are being increasingly used in treating gastric submucosal tumors. [46][47][48] However, to the best of our knowledge, there is rare report that gastric glomus tumor was treated by endoscopic resection, [49] which may be due to its rarity and its vascular nature.…”

Background and Objectives Preoperative diagnosis of gastric glomus tumor is very difficult, and there are few reports regarding the endoscopic treatment of glomus tumor of the stomach. Our aim is to provide a retrospective assessment of the imaging features of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and treatment of choice of gastric glomus tumor. Methods A database of all patients with gastric glomus tumor who was treated at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between March 2011 and March 2017 was retrospectively analyzed. The EUS characteristics and patients’ clinical data as well as their treatment were reviewed. At the same time, we compared EUS characteristics of gastric glomus tumor with that of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GISTs), leiomyomas, schwannomas, and ectopic pancreas. Results Eleven patients (3 male and 8 female patients) were included in the present study. The patients’ age ranged from 37 to 62 years (mean age, 50.1 years). Ten patients received EUS examination. Eight lesions were presented with mild-hyperechoic round or oval mass; one lesion was mild-hyperechoic oval mass with hypoechoic spots; one lesion was hypoechoic oval mass. One patient received endoscopic full-thickness resection; 3 patients were treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection; and laparoscopic resection was performed for 7 patients. Conclusions Gastric glomus has typical EUS features to differentiate from other submucosal tumors. Compared with surgery, endoscopic resection is also a safe and effective treatment of choice for gastric glomus tumor.

“…Numerous studies have demonstrated glomus tumors in anatomic locations where glomus bodies are sparse or not known to exist, including the uterus, vagina, respiratory tract, adrenal gland, mediastinum, larynx, peripheral nerves, and bone . Lesions in the gastrointestinal tract are rare entities that have been predominantly limited to the stomach . A recent publication by Campbell et al, detailing the laparascopic resection of a gastric glomus tumor, revealed 145 cases of reported gastric glomus tumor to date.…”

Cytopathologic diagnosis of esophageal glomus tumor presenting as an incidental posterior mediastinal mass in an 80‐year‐old male

Endoscopic ultrasound guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of the upper gastrointestinal tract presents a diagnostic challenge to cytopathologists due to the broad differential diagnosis and morphologic overlap between various entities in this location. We report here an incidentally discovered case of esophageal glomus tumor presenting as a posterior mediastinal mass in an 80-year old male. Glomus tumor is a rare soft tissue neoplasm with bland epithelioid morphology and cytoplasmic granularity. Literature review reveals only 6 published cases of esophageal glomus tumor in the general pathology literature. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the English literature to describe FNA cytology of an esophageal glomus tumor. This rare case presentation provides the opportunity to review the differential diagnosis for lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract and their appearance on FNA in order to clarify an entity that is uncommon in everyday cytology practice.
