“…Some of the patients underwent surgical treatment due to gatrointestinal obstruction caused by gastric lumen closure by the tumor. Asymptomatic tumors as well as tumors identified in postmortem material from patients deceased due to gastrointestinal bleeding were also reported (7). Most of the resected tumors were located in the pylorus and accompanied by mucosal ulceration (5).…”

The study presented a case of a patient with a glomus tumor of the stomach, a mesenchymal neoplasm manifesting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (Forrest IB). The patient was operated twice. First, he underwent elective laparotomy, during which Billroth I (Rydygier's method) gastric resection was performed. This his was followed by Billroth II resection with Braun's anastomosis. Histopathological examination revealed glomus tumor tissue. Literature data on the glomus tumor of the stomach are presented.

“…As with other vascular tumors, internal organ involvement can occur with glomus tumors. Solitary visceral glomus tumors in the gastric wall, lung, and bone have been identified in surgical specimens and at postmortem examination 2–5 . Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome, a rare disease consisting of multiple cutaneous and visceral hemangiomas, may appear clinically similar to MGT 12 .…”

“…Solitary glomus tumors most often arise in the subungual location, but may occur in any part of the body. Visceral glomus tumors have also been identified 2–5 . Fewer than 100 cases of multiple glomus tumors (MGT) have been reported.…”

Glomus tumors may occur as solitary lesions, or rarely as multiple glomus tumors (MGT). Internal organ involvement in patients with MGT has been reported, but is rare. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been reported to be useful in evaluating patients with blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome for nongastrointestinal internal organ involvement. Three patients with MGT were evaluated by MRI for both cutaneous and internal involvement. MRI, which is useful in evaluating other vascular lesions, is not useful in the evaluation of patients with multiple glomus tumors. With these results, patients with MGT can be spared the expense of MRI procedure.
