Abstract
- Tracheal glomus tumors are extremely rare. We present clinicopathologic findings of a resected glomus tumor of the trachea in a 43-year-old man with a review of literature, The tumor was an intraluminal polypoid mass, which arose from the posterior wall of the first to third tracheal rings. Tracheal resection with end to end anastomosis was done. Histologically, the tumor exhibited typical features of glomus tumor with areas of glomangiomyoma.
