Glomus tumors are rarely developed in the lung. We report a case of a pulmonary glomus tumor that was observed for a long period. The patient was a 50-year-old man. Chest computed tomography showed a 6 mm nodule in the left lower lobe. The patient requested follow-up observation. The nodule gradually increased and was resected 6 years later. Pulmonary partial resection was performed thoracoscopy. The lesion was diagnosed as a glomus tumor with no malignant features. Pulmonary glomus tumors are rare and difficult to diagnose before resection. However, care is necessary as they may be malignant.
肺内很少发生血管球瘤。我们报告一例长期观察的肺血管球瘤病例。患者为一名50岁男性。胸部计算机断层扫描显示左肺下叶有一个6毫米的结节。患者要求进行随访观察。该结节逐渐增大，6年后进行了切除。通过胸腔镜进行了肺部分切除术。病变被诊断为无恶性特征的血管球瘤。肺血管球瘤罕见，术前难以诊断。然而，由于它们可能是恶性的，所以需要谨慎对待。
