A case of Glomus tumor of the stomach associated with a lipoma in a 65-year-old female is reported. The patient complained of epigastralgia for three months prior to her admission. X-rays, as well as gastroscopic examinations, revealed two submucosal tumors, one located along the greater curvature of the gastric antrum and the other on the posterior wall of the upper corpus. A preoperative angiographic study showed hypervascularity and tumor staining. Histologically, one tumor was diagnosed as being Glomus tumor and the other, a lipoma. Thus this rare case of two submucosal tumors in the stomach is discussed and 39 previous gastric Glomus tumor cases found in the domestic literature are reviewed.
