[Glomangioma of the stomach (pathology, pathogenesis and classification)].

Twenty-two glomus tumors of the stomach were studied. Their mandatory components were shown to include vascular structures, elongated cells similar to smooth muscle elements, and the so-called epithelioid cells with clear perinuclear zones of artificial nature. Among gastric glomus tumors, mature, growing and malignant forms should be distinguished. The results of electron microscopic examinations suggest the smooth muscle origin of the glomus neoplasias.
