SAN MARTIN, Pablo D.  e  SIBONA, Flavia C.. Glomus tumor of the small bowel. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2023, vol.115, n.4, pp.386-390.  Epub 18-Out-2023. ISSN 2250-639X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.25132/raac.v115.n4.1698.

Glomus tumors (GTs) are benign vascular neoplasms of soft tissues that occur in peripheral acral areas. Most intra-abdominal GTs develop in the stomach; the incidence of intestinal presentation is very low, We report the case of a 26-year-old female patient with chronic mild pain in the umbilical region with no other symptoms or signs. The imaging tests demonstrated a heterogeneous abdominopelvic mass with a solid vascularized component, and a cystic component with papillary projections.

The pathology examination of the surgical specimen reported the diagnosis of GT of the small bowel (SB). We conducted a review of the literature and found their low incidence, affecting both men and women between 26 and 88 years without a predominant geographic distribution.

Glomus tumors should be considered as a rare differential diagnosis in the presence of small SB tumors.
