The glomus tumor of stomach is an unusual submucosal mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. We describe a 42-year-old female who presented with chronic anemia and an episode of painless hematemesis. A preoperative diagnosis of the probable gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor was made. Post-surgical histopathological examination of the specimen demonstrated a glomus tumor of the stomach confirmed on immunohistochemistry. The present case highlights the importance of morphology and immunohistochemistry in differentiating the subepithelial tumors of the stomach and one must consider glomus tumor in differential diagnosis of these gastric lesions.
胃血管球瘤是胃肠道少见的黏膜下间叶性肿瘤。我们描述了一位 42 岁女性，因慢性贫血和无痛性血便发作就诊。术前诊断为胃胃肠间质瘤可能性大。术后标本的组织病理学检查显示为胃血管球瘤，免疫组化进一步证实。本病例强调了形态学和免疫组化在鉴别胃黏膜下肿瘤中的重要性，在这些胃病变的鉴别诊断中必须考虑到血管球瘤。
