Case report discovers gastric glomus tumor in an elderly woman, suggesting the need for careful surveillance in such findings.
Glomus tumors are rare, generally benign tumors that originate from the glomus body, a structure involved in thermoregulation. They are commonly found under the nails or in peripheral soft tissue and rarely in the gastrointestinal tract. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman with a history of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and atrial fibrillation who was found to have a gastric glomus tumor during an evaluation of iron deficiency anemia. We present a detailed description of the differential diagnosis, histopathologic findings, red flag signs for malignant transformation, and surveillance recommendations for patients diagnosed with gastric glomus tumor.
