Abstract

Glomus tumors showing nuclear pleomorphism without any othermalignant features have been defined as symplastic glomus tumors.This type of glomus tumor is rarely encountered. Another case ofsymplastic glomus tumor is described in this study. A 37-year-oldwoman referred to the hospital with the complaint of a palpabletender nodule on the fourth finger tip of her left hand. The lesion hadbeen present for about a year and aggravation of tenderness upon coldexposure was conspicuous. It was a 0.5 cm well circumscribed lesionwith round to cuboidal epithelioid cells showing high grade nuclearpleomorphism. nests of cells more uniform in shape and showingpunched out nucleus representative of typical glomus tumor couldalso be observed. Immunohistochemical study showed expression ofsmooth muscle actin, caldesmon and vimentin. Ki-67 labeling indexwas undetectable. Investment of tumor cells was shown by type IVcollagen. In contrast to its atypical cellular morphology, symplasticglomus tumor clinically behaves benign, and it is important todifferentiate it from malignant glomus tumor as well as other primaryor metastatic malignant tumors.

Özet

Nükleer pleomorfizm dışında başka bir malignite bulgusu içermeyensimplastik glomus tümörü çok nadirdir. burada diğer bir simplastikglomus tümörü olgusu sunulmaktadır. Otuzyedi yaşında kadınhasta, sol el 4. parmak ucunda ağrılı nodül nedeni ile hastaneyebaşvurmuştur. Kitlenin bir yıldır mevcut olup, soğuğa maruz kalmaile ağrısının arttığı bildirilmiştir. İyi sınırlı 0,5 cm çapındaki kitleninhistopatolojik incelenmesinde, ileri derecede nükleer pleomorfizmgösteren yuvarlak ya da kübik şekilli epiteloid hücrelerden oluşanlezyon görülmüştür. Yer yer tipik glomus tümörünü temsil edenuniform şekilli, çevresinde halo içeren santral nükleuslu hücregrupları da izlenmiştir. İmmünohistokimyasal çalışmada düz kasaktini, kaldesmon ve vimentin ile boyanma görülmüştür. Ki-67 ileboyanma izlenmemiştir. Tip IV kollajen ile tümör hücrelerinin tektek sarıldığı dikkati çekmiştir. Atipik, sellüler morfolojisine karşılıksimplastik glomus tümörü klinik olarak benign davranır; bu nedenlemalign glomus tümörü yanı sıra diğer primer ve metastatik maligntümörler ile ayrımı önemlidir.
