Glomus tumors,also known as glomangiomas,arerare and originate in the neuromyoarterial glomus,anormal arteriovenous shunt which is abundantly suppliedwith nerve fibers and fulfills a temperature-regulatingfunction.The classic location of glomus tumor is thesubungual region,but the tumor can occur elsewhere inthe skin,soft tissues,nerves,stomach,nasal cavity,andtrachea.In the gastrointestinal(GI)tract the tumoroccurs more often in the stomach than other parts,andtypically occurs as a solitary submucosal nodule in theantrum.We reported a case of glomus tumor originatingfrom the greater curvature of stomach which was studiedwith contrast-enhanced helical computed tomography(CT)and described the characteristic helical CT findingsof the rare lesion.
Glomus tumors, also known as glomangiomas, arerare and originate in the neuromyoarterial glomus, anormal arteriovenous shunt which is abundantly supplied with nerve fibers and fulfills a temperature-regulatingfunction.The classic location of glomus tumor is theubulin region, but the tumor can occur elsewhere inthe skin , soft tissues, nerves, stomach, nasal cavity, and trachea. the gastrointestinal (GI) tract the tumoroccurs more often in the stomach than other parts, andtypically occurs as a solitary submucosal nodule in theantrum. We reported a case of glomus tumor originating from the greater curvature of stomach which was studied with contrast-enhanced helical computed tomography (CT) and described the characteristic helical CT findings of the rare lesion.
