Glomus tumors are rare and benign neoplasms, which normally originate from peripheral soft tissue. To date, reported cases of glomus tumor occurring in genitourinary tract, particularly in the urethra, are exceedingly rare. The present study presented a rare case of glomus tumor of the anterior urethra in a 42 year-old male, his main complaints were a history of anterior urethra pain for 3 years, and a palpable and tender mass in the urethra for 2 weeks. Urethrocystoscopy examination and the resection of the urethral mass were performed. Pathological and immunohistochemical examination revealed that the mass was a benign glomus tumor. The patient remained in good condition by 6 month follow-up, and revealed no problems or recurrence following surgery. This is the first case, to the best of our knowledge, to present a glomus tumor occurring in a male's urethra and the present report provided a supplementary review for the previous cases and the literature.
血管球瘤是一种罕见的良性肿瘤，通常起源于周围软组织。迄今为止，发生于泌尿生殖道，尤其是尿道的血管球瘤报道病例极为罕见。本研究报告了一例42岁男性前尿道血管球瘤的罕见病例，其主要症状为前尿道疼痛3年病史，尿道可触及压痛性肿块2周。进行了尿道膀胱镜检查及尿道肿块切除术。病理及免疫组化检查显示该肿块为良性血管球瘤。随访6个月时患者情况良好，术后未出现问题或复发。据我们所知，这是首例男性尿道发生血管球瘤的病例，本报告为既往病例及文献提供了补充性综述。
