Since the glomus tumor is essentially benign and does not need a radical surgical procedure, the most important aspect of this tumor is its histologic identification and differentiation from more common gastric lesions, especially from malignant tumors.

Abstract

Glomus tumors are benign soft tissue neoplasms that usually arise in the skin of the extremities; however, those tumors are sometimes located in other sites such as gastrointestinal (GIS), respiratory, and genital tracts. Gastrointestinal glomus tumors are mostly located in the gastric antrum. The most are small (<4 cm), but a few can be enormous. Herein, we report a case of a glomus tumor of the stomach in a 31-year-old female patient who presented with intermittent nausea, vomiting, hematemesis and melena for 2 months. On upper GIS endoscopy, submucosal lesion with ulceration was found in the prepyloric area. Partial gastrectomy including the lesion was performed. Immunohistochemical examination showed the glomus tumor. Since the glomus tumor is essentially benign and does not need a radical surgical procedure, the most important aspect of this tumor is its histologic identification and differentiation from more common gastric lesions, especially from malignant tumors.

Özet

Glomus tümörleri genellikle ekstremitelerde görülen, selim seyirli yumuşak doku tümörleridir, gastrointestinal sistem (GİS), ürogenital ve solunum sistemi gibi vücudun diğer kısımlarında daha seyrek rastlanılır. GİS’de görülen glomus tümörlerinin çoğu midenin antrum kısmında yerleşim gösterir. Çoğu küçüktür (genellikle <4 cm) ancak bazen daha büyük olabilir. Bu yazıda, 2 aydan beri aralıklı olarak bulantı, kusma, hematemez ve melena yakınmaları ile başvuran 31 yaşındaki kadın hastada saptanan, bir mide glomus tümör olgusu sunuldu. Üst GİS endoskopisinde prepilorik bölgede, üzeri ülsere, submukozal lezyon olarak tanı konuldu. Hastaya, lezyonu içerecek tarzda parsiyel gastrektomi ameliyatı uygulandı. Glomus tümörünün tanısı immünohistokimyasal değerlendirme ile de teyit edildi. Glomus tümörü iyi huyludur ve radikal bir cerrahi prosedür gerektirmediğinden en önemli yanı histolojik tanısının konulması ve midenin sık görülen diğer lezyonlarından özellikle de kötü huylu tümörlerinden ayırt edilmesidir.
