Epigastric 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, including glomus tumors. The treatment of choice is wedge resection with adequate free margins. A laparoscopic approach is warranted when technically feasible. Since malignant gastric GTs have been described, long-term follow-up is suggested after surgical excision.
