Glomus tumor is a benign neoplasm composed of a perivascular proliferation of glomic cells that resembles the normal glomus body. Usually, it appears as a solitary, symptomatic small blue-red nodule, located in the deep dermis or subcutis of upper or lower extremities of young to middle-aged adults. Cases affecting the oral cavity are very rare, with only 23 well-documented cases reported in the English-language literature. Herein, we present a rare case of glomus tumor of the upper lip, and review the literature of cases involving the mouth.
血管球瘤是一种由血管球细胞的血管周围增生构成的良性肿瘤，类似于正常的血管球。通常，它表现为单个有症状的蓝红色小结节，位于中青年成年人上下肢的真皮深层或皮下组织。累及口腔的病例非常罕见，英文文献中仅报道了23例有充分记录的病例。在此，我们报告一例罕见的上唇血管球瘤病例，并回顾涉及口腔的病例文献。
