Glomus tumor of the stomach: a systematic review and illustrative case report

Discussion Epigast ric pain and bleeding were the most common symptoms at presentation in patients with diagnosis of glomus tumor. EUS-guided fine needle aspiration can be useful for preoperative diagnosis. Endoscopic elastosonography is a promising tool for the differential diagnosis of gastric submucosal lesions, in cluding glomus tumors. Treatment of choice is wedge resection with adequate free margins. Laparoscopic ap-proach is warranted when technically feasible. Since malignant gastric glomus tumors have been de-scribed, long term follow-up is suggested after surgical excision.
