“…GTs are most commonly found in the distal extremities, particularly in the subungual region due to the number of glomus bodies in this area . However, GTs have been described in extracutaneous areas where glomus bodies are not commonly located, such as the mediastinum, lungs, kidneys, and head and neck . In the head and neck, GTs have been described in the nose, paranasal sinuses, oral mucosa, larynx, and eyelids .…”

Malignant glomus tumor of the head and neck is an extremely rare tumor in children. Evaluation consists of imaging, and tissue biopsy is necessary for definitive diagnosis. Management options include surgical resection with or without an adjuvant chemotherapy protocol similar to those designed for sarcoma. Additional reports are necessary so that we may determine the utility, if any, of radiotherapy in the management of this tumor. Laryngoscope, 127:2873-2882, 2017.

“…The exact pathogenesis of glomus tumor in the parenchymal organs is not well understood, since most glomus tumors arise in the soft tissue in association with the normally present glomus bodies. Few reported cases in the literature document primary glomus tumor in the female genital tract [22], gastrointestinal tract [3], bone [23], lung [24], mediastinum [25], larynx [26], trachea [27], oral cavity [28], pancreases [29], liver [30], and sinonasal region [31]. Glomus tumors of the kidney are rare, with limited cases reported in the literature (Table 1).…”

Background Glomus tumors are rare mesenchymal tumors originating from glomus bodies in the skin. Glomus tumors of the kidney are rare tumors and only a few cases have been reported in the medical literature. An extensive search revealed a very limited number of primary renal glomus tumors. Although most of these cases were benign in nature, including a case with uncertain diagnosis of malignant potential, two were malignant. Case Report We present a unique case of a 57-year-old male patient with an incidentally discovered 2 cm left renal mass. Histopathology examination and immunohistochemical studies confirm the diagnosis of glomangioma (a form of glomus tumor). The patient was followed for one year after partial nephrectomy and showed a benign course without any evidence of local recurrence or metastasis. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this is the 16th case of primary benign renal glomus tumors. Primary renal glomus tumors are rare and may mimic other mesenchymal renal neoplasms radiologically. Proper investigation (including histopathological analysis and immunohistochemical staining) of kidney tumors is essential to make the diagnosis of glomus tumors, which usually show a benign clinical course following resection.

“…There are only few extra digital tumors documented on the upper extremity (the latest [4]). Other anatomical localizations where this tumor was found include urinary bladder, small intestine, stomach, larynx, and other unusual anatomical locations [6–9]. Tumors located superficially are often presented with paroxysms of pain which radiate away from the lesion.…”

Objective. To report on a very rare case of a glomus tumor manifested on the upper arm in a healthy young male patient. Case Presentation and Intervention. A 22-year-old male patient presented with bluish multifocal venous malformation on the left upper arm and was admitted for venous malformation excision. Pain, discomfort, and upper arm paraesthesia had been present for almost 6 years. Ultrasonography revealed septet tumor without blood flow in the subcutaneous region of anterior aspect of the upper arm. A multifocal venous malformation approximately 5–10 mm in diameter was excised. Histological examination showed dilated vascular area with proliferated glomus cells with round nucleus in the wall of dilated vascular structures. Based on histological examination, the final diagnosis was made as “glomangioma.” Conclusion. Histological examination is the only method that can establish final diagnosis. Currently, the only available treatment for this type of tumor is surgical excision.
