Article Abstract

Intracardiac glomus tumors are very rare neoplasms arising from mesenchymal cells. Solitary glomus tumors are usually benign and mostly seen in the skin of limbs. Still, exceptional cases of noncutaneous visceral glomus tumors have been reported at sites other than the limbs. We present a case of glomangioma that was surgically removed from the right ventricle and briefly pointed to the importance of differential diagnosis of cardiac tumors. A 57-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for dyspnea and recurrent arrhythmia attacks. We performed a three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiogram, and contrast chest CT, which revealed a mass in the right ventricle. She was successfully treated with cardiac surgery. After pathological studies, the tumor was finally diagnosed as benign intracardiac glomangioma.

To investigate the clinicopathological features, genetic characteristics, and differential diagnosis of glomangiomatosis with uncertain malignant potential. Two cases of glomangiomatosis with uncertain malignant potential were collected at Henan Provincial People's Hospital from 2013 and 2023. Immunohistochemistry and next generation sequencing (DNA-seq) were used to detect the related protein and gene variation.

A microscopic transungual surgical approach for subungual glomus tumor resection.

Front Med (Lausanne)

August 2025

Department of Dermatology, Affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Westlake University, Zhejiang, China.

Background: Glomus tumors, rare benign neoplasms developing from the glomus, often pose challenges in early detection due to their small size and subtle symptoms. Surgical removal remains the only primary treatment; however, existing approaches have limitations, particularly in preserving nail structure and minimizing recurrence rates. This study introduces the Microscopic Transungual Surgical Approach to overcome the drawbacks of existing procedures for glomus tumor excision and evaluate its efficacy in treating these tumors.

Excision of a rectal duplication cyst in proximity to the glomus coccygeum - An unusual cause of intraoperative bleeding: A case report.

Int J Surg Case Rep

August 2025

Department of General Surgery, Division of Pediatric Surgery, State University of New York, Downstate Health Sciences University, United States of America. Electronic address:

Introduction: Rectal duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies, accounting for approximately 4 % of all gastrointestinal duplication cysts. The glomus coccygeum is a vascular structure located around the tip of the coccyx. This case report details an adolescent female with a rectal duplication cyst, where incidental dissection of the glomus coccygeum during surgery resulted in unexpected blood loss.

Stereotactic radiation therapy, including stereotactic radiosurgery, is a well-established and effective treatment for cerebellopontine angle tumors such as meningiomas, vestibular schwannomas, trigeminal and jugular foramen schwannomas, and glomus tumors. It offers high rates of tumor control while preserving neurological function, particularly in tumors smaller than 3 cm, which are ideal candidates for stereotactic radiosurgery. Large tumors or those extending beyond the skull base can also be managed effectively using fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy.
