Abstract
- Glomus tumors are uncommon lesions of glomus cell origin with structural and immunohistochemical features of smooth muscles. Primary glomus tumors of the lung and bronchus are extremely rare and only several cases have been reported. A 16-year-old woman was admitted for the complaint of productive cough, fever, and dyspnea. Imaging studies revealed a protruding mass in the left main bronchus and the mass was completely resected via a left thoracotomy incision. We report this case with literature review.
