“…We can refer to the treatment of GTs that occurred in other organs to make the therapy plan. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBt) is an effective method for benign ( 22 ) or undetermined malignant potential ( 23 ) GTs of the bladder. Malignant GTs are highly aggressive with poor prognosis.…”

We reported an 85-year-old patient with malignant glomus tumor (GT) of the prostate. He presented with urinary frequency for more than 2 years and gross hematuria for 7 days. Computed tomography scan showed that the prostate was markedly irregularly enlarged, and the boundary between the prostate and the posterior wall of the bladder was unclear. Bilateral kidneys and ureters were dilated. Biochemical examinations showed that the serum potassium was 7.24 mmol/L and the serum creatinine was 974.6 μmol/L. Transurethral diagnostic resection was performed after restoring homeostasis through several times of bedside blood filtration. The pathological diagnosis was malignant GT. The patient’s renal function recovered after bilateral nephrostomy, and he refused further treatment and was out of contact after 9 months. We summarize the clinical and histopathological features of malignant GT of the prostate in order to improve the early recognition of the disease by clinicians.

Presentación atípica de tumor glómico en vía aérea: reporte de caso y revisión de literatura

et al. 2023

Introducción. Los tumores glómicos provienen de los cuerpos glómicos, que son estructuras con función de termorregulación y se encuentran distribuidas por todo el cuerpo humano, principalmente a nivel distal de las extremidades, donde es común encontrar lesiones características, aunque hay reportes de casos que se presentaron como neoformación en localizaciones más inusuales. Su etiología aun es desconocida. No se sospechan en muchos pacientes y el diagnostico se realiza de manera incidental, por estudios imagenológicos o anatomopatológicos. Caso clínico. Paciente femenina de 66 años, con presencia de tumor glómico en vía aérea, diagnosticado por histopatología e inmunohistoquímica, que fue sometido a resección quirúrgica, con buena evolución posterior. Discusión. Esta presentación atípica de tumor glómico en vía aérea se manifiesta principalmente con síntomas y signos relacionados con obstrucción de la vía aérea. El manejo oportuno es primordial y el diagnóstico definitivo es por histopatología e inmunohistoquímica, donde se observan las características de las células glómicas, estructuras vasculares, músculo liso y la positividad en la inmunotinción de marcadores como actina del músculo liso, CD34, y actina específica del músculo, entre otras. Conclusión. Los tumores glómicos son neoformaciones benignas raras, con presentación más común en zonas distales. Su aparición depende de factores intrínsecos y extrínsecos de los pacientes. Su tasa de recidiva es muy baja en comparación de otros tumores.

“…GT occurring in the bladder is very rare and has been reported sporadically. To the best of our knowledge, only 4 cases of bladder GT have been previously identified in studies reported in English [2][3][4][5]. The present study aimed to (1) present an extremely rare case of GT in the bladder and (2) summarize its clinical and histopathologic features by literature review.…”

Background Glomus tumor (GT), which are neoplasms of the glomus body, usually occur in the extremities, particularly under the nail bed. GT occurring in the bladder is very rare and has been reported as sporadic. In the present study, a rare case of bladder GT is reported and its clinical and histopathological characteristics are summarized by literature review. Case presentation A 57-year-old woman presented with intermittent gross hematuria for 2 years. Urinalysis displayed hematuria. The bladder ultrasound showed an avascular and homogeneous isoechoic polypoid mass with a maximum diameter of 6 mm at the right lateral wall of bladder. The bladder endoscopic examination showed a polypoid lesion, with a smooth surface, located in the right lateral wall. Then, a transurethral resection was performed, its histopathological features indicated a benign GT. Conclusions GT arising in the bladder is extremely rare, and only four cases have been identified in studies reported in English. It is difficult to diagnose bladder GTs according to their clinical features. The gold standard method used for their diagnosis is histopathology. However, it should also be considered in the differential diagnosis for bladder mass.
