A glomus tumor in the mediastinum is very uncommon, and only five cases have been reported in the English literature. We recently encountered a 21-year-old woman with an asymptomatic mediastinal mass that measured 5.3 × 4.0 cm. Surgical excision was performed, and the tumor was finally diagnosed as mediastinal glomus tumor with an uncertain malignant potential. After reviewing this case and previous reports, we analyzed the clinicopathologic features associated with progression of such a tumor.
纵隔血管球瘤非常罕见,英文文献中仅报道过5例。我们最近遇到一名21岁女性,其纵隔有一无症状肿块,大小为5.3×4.0厘米。进行了手术切除,最终肿瘤被诊断为具有不确定恶性潜能的纵隔血管球瘤。在回顾该病例及既往报道后,我们分析了与这种肿瘤进展相关的临床病理特征。
