Glomus tumors are tumors that arise from the glomus bodies, which can be found in sites of arteriovenous anastomosis. Glomus tumors can occur in all parts of the body but rarely occur in the trachea. The PET/CT findings of these tumors are similar to those of malignant tracheal tumors. We reported the PET/CT findings of a pathologically proven primary glomus tumor in the trachea of a 41-year-old man.
血管球瘤起源于血管球,可发生在动静脉吻合部位。血管球瘤可发生于全身各处,但很少发生于气管。这些肿瘤的 PET/CT 表现与恶性气管肿瘤相似。我们报告了一例经病理证实的 41 岁男性气管原发性血管球瘤的 PET/CT 表现。
