Background Glomus tumor (GT), which are neoplasms of the glomus body, usually occur in the extremities, particularly under the nail bed. GT occurring in the bladder is very rare and has been reported as sporadic. In the present study, a rare case of bladder GT is reported and its clinical and histopathological characteristics are summarized by literature review. Case presentation A 57-year-old woman presented with intermittent gross hematuria for 2 years. Urinalysis displayed hematuria. The bladder ultrasound showed an avascular and homogeneous isoechoic polypoid mass with a maximum diameter of 6 mm at the right lateral wall of bladder. The bladder endoscopic examination showed a polypoid lesion, with a smooth surface, located in the right lateral wall. Then, a transurethral resection was performed, its histopathological features indicated a benign GT. Conclusions GT arising in the bladder is extremely rare, and only four cases have been identified in studies reported in English. It is difficult to diagnose bladder GTs according to their clinical features. The gold standard method used for their diagnosis is histopathology. However, it should also be considered in the differential diagnosis for bladder mass.

Glomus tumors usually occur in areas rich in glomus bodies, such as the subungual areas of the fingers or the deep dermis of the palm, wrist, and forearm, but they can also occur in deep visceral sites throughout the body, including the lungs, stomach, pancreas, liver, gastrointestinal and urinary tracts. They are thought to have originated from modified smooth muscle cells of the neuromyoarterial glomus, commonly referred to as the glomus body, whose function is to regulate temperature through arteriovenous shunting of the blood. Important during the pathological process for these tumors are pain that persists for a long time, which is often necessary for their detection and the possibility of relapse.The purpose: to analyze and evaluate our own clinical cases of glomus angioma of various localization.Materials and methods. 6 patients with a morphologically verified diagnosis of glomus angioma (5 women and 1 man aged 23 to 50 years, mean age 34.5 years) were treated at A.V. Vishnevsky National Medical Research Center of Surgery for the period from 2004 to 2023. All patients were operated on. Lesions localization: limbs soft tissues – 3, retroperitoneal space – 2, lung – 1.Results. The term of the lesions detection varied from 2 months to congenital. In 2 of 3 cases of the limbs soft tissues tumors localization they were congenital. Limbs soft tissues glomus tumors: the leions ranged in size from 40.0 × 28.65 mm to a large lesion, consisting of multiple foci ranging in size from 20.0 to 60.0 mm in diameter, all tumors were multinodular. Retroperitoneal glomus tumors: the lesions were rather large (a multinodular lesion from 6.0 to 48.0 mm in diameter and a single-nodular multi-chamber lesion of a polycyclic form, 150.0 × 100.0 × 80.0 mm in size). The lung glomus tumor was single-nodular and had a diameter of 12.5 mm. In the vast majority of cases (5/6), the lesions manifested with the pain and discomfort. Only the lung lesion was detected by chance and during a routine examination.The criteria for ultrasound and MSCT signs of the lesions of various localizations are given. The data are compared with literature data.Conclusion. Given the rarity of glomus angioma and the lack of publications on glomus angiomas of soft tissues of the extremities and deep-seated tumors in the domestic literature, the presented analysis of a series of our own cases will increase the awareness of clinicians and diagnosticians about these tumors and, thereby, increase their detection, which will allow for earlier surgery.
