“…Glomus tumors in the pulmonary tract are very uncommon findings. These are often benign growths comprising perivascular cells [ 7 , 8 ]. In the respiratory tract, the glomus tumors can affect the mainstem bronchi and pulmonary parenchyma.…”

Glomus tumors, which account for less than 2% of soft tissue tumors, are a rare benign soft tissue neoplasm. They originated from neuro-myo-arterial glomus tissue whose primary function is regulation of the body temperature. This tissue is commonly located in the dermis or subcutis in the subungual region; however, it can be extracutaneous such as in bones, the genitourinary tract, the gastrointestinal tract, and the respiratory tract. Histologically, a glomus tumor is made of proliferating rounded or cuboidal epithelioid cells in a meshwork of blood vessels. Although a benign growth, they can rarely show malignant features with infiltration of surrounding tissue with the rapid multiplication of cells in which case it is labeled as a malignant glomus tumor. Pulmonary glomus tumors are extremely rare and most commonly occur in middle-aged men. They are mostly asymptomatic, but a small percentage of patients may present with hemoptysis and cough if there is large airway involvement. We present an interesting case of a middle-aged man presenting with cough and occasional hemoptysis, found to have an endobronchial nodular lesion, and subsequently diagnosed with a pulmonary glomus tumor.

“…Originating from the lung is extremely uncommon, with less than 50 cases ( 27 ). Clinically, the symptoms of bronchial or tracheal GTs were commonly associated with airway irritation, but GTs occurring in the peripheral lung were generally asymptomatic ( 28 ). GTs of the respiratory tract generally occurred in middle-aged individuals ( 29 ) with no obvious sex predilection, and the maximum diameter ranged from 0.7 to 9.5 cm ( 15 , 30 ).…”

A collision tumor is a rare entity, particularly if occurring in the lung. We report a case of a 57-year-old woman with a primary pulmonary collision tumor comprising mixed squamous cell and glandular papilloma (MSGP) and glomus tumor (GT). An abnormal mass was discovered in the right lung by computed tomography (CT) of the chest. A right lower lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection was performed. Histological examination of the surgical specimen suggested that the lung cancer was composed of two neoplastic components. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a primary pulmonary collision tumor comprising two benign tumors of different origins, which were MSGP and GT.

“…Given that the survival of patients with tracheal malignancies is affected by various factors such as tumor stage, therapeutic drugs, and treatment modalities, close monitoring of the conditions of the patients after systemic treatment is still indispensable. At present, imaging examinations are mostly performed for disease monitoring in clinical practice [5].…”

Purpose: To determine the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral computed tomography (CT) after adiponectin treatment of tracheal malignancies. Methods: Sixty patients with tracheal malignancies admitted to Emergency General Hospital from February 2017 to February 2021 were assigned to the study group. After physical examination, 60 healthy subjects in the same period served as the control group. All patients were treated with adiponectin. The control group was subjected to serum tumor marker testing before and after treatment, while the study group received multi-slice spiral CT before and after adiponectin treatment. Results: The 60 patients enrolled in the study group comprised 30 cases of squamous carcinoma, 22 cases of adenocarcinoma, and 8 cases of mucosa-associated lymphoma. Multi-slice spiral CT before treatment showed that 35 patients with tracheal malignant tumors had expansive lumen hyperplasia, while 25 patients with bulging tumors had saddle-like hyperplasia with irregular surfaces, uneven margins, and mean thickness of 5.96 ± 0.65 mm in the tracheal and bronchial walls adjacent to the luminal nodule. After treatment, the thickness of the tracheal and bronchial walls adjacent to the luminal nodule decreased to a mean value of 4.65 ± 0.48 mm. Prior to treatment, the mean enhancement value of contrast-enhanced CT was 18.98±1.23 Hu, and mean tumor diameter was 3.68 ± 0.23 cm. However, after treatment, the mean enhancement value increased to 25.98 ± 1.44 Hu, while mean tumor diameter decreased to 2.54 ± 0.20 cm in the study group. Conclusion: Multi-slice spiral CT has promising diagnostic value for patients with tracheal malignancies after adiponectin treatment. Therefore, it can potentially be used in the diagnosis of patients with tracheal malignancies.
