Glomus tumors are rare mesenchymal neoplasms of the subcutaneous tissue, most frequently found in the distal extremities. They are typically benign, but malignant glomus tumors have been described in the literature. Here we present a patient found to have a unilateral renal mass with pathology displaying a primary renal glomus tumor with malignant features. Review of the literature reveals only three cases of malignant glomus tumors and five glomus tumors with malignant potential. As such, previous initial presentations, current criteria for glomus tumor malignancy, and previous treatment outcomes of these cases were reviewed.
血管球瘤是皮下组织罕见的间叶性肿瘤，最常见于四肢远端。它们通常是良性的，但文献中也描述过恶性血管球瘤。我们在此报告一例患者，其单侧肾脏肿块经病理检查显示为具有恶性特征的原发性肾血管球瘤。文献回顾仅发现3例恶性血管球瘤及5例具有恶性潜能的血管球瘤。因此，我们对这些病例之前的初始表现、目前血管球瘤恶性的标准以及之前的治疗结果进行了回顾。
