Glomus tumors, as a type of quite rare neoplasms, originate from modified smooth muscle cells of the glomus body whose function is to regulate blood flow within arteries according to the body temperature. Although these tumors most commonly occur in the peripheral soft tissues, especially in the distal parts of extremities, there have been rare reports of visceral involvement (Lorber et al., 2005) [1]. We report a case of gastric glomus tumor, which was preoperatively diagnosed by ultrasonic endoscopy as a gastric stromal tumor and treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
血管球瘤是一种较为罕见的肿瘤，来源于血管球的平滑肌细胞，其功能是根据体温调节动脉内的血流。尽管这些肿瘤最常见于周围软组织，尤其是四肢的远端，但也有罕见内脏受累的报道（Lorber 等，2005）[1]。我们报告 1 例胃血管球瘤，术前超声内镜诊断为胃间质瘤，行内镜黏膜下剥离术（ESD）治疗。
