Int J Clin Exp Pathol. 2018 Dec 1;11(12):6039-6041. eCollection 2018.

Abstract

Glomus tumors are relatively rare tumors, especially those of bronchopulmonary origin. Fewer than 50 cases of glomus tumors of the lung have been reported in the English medical literature, and the majority of them were clinically benign. We report on a 15-year-old boy with a nodule in the left lung bronchus. The microscopic examination revealed a glomus tumor with an uncertain malignant potential.

Keywords: Glomus tumor; uncertain malignant potential.
