title: Primary pulmonary glomus tumor with contiguous spread to a peribronchial lymph node.
abstract: Glomus tumors are uncommon soft tissue tumors. Rare occurrences in visceral organs including the respiratory tract have been reported. The vast majority of these tumors are biologically benign. We report a case of primary pulmonary glomus tumor with atypical features characterized by mild nuclear atypia, local infiltration, and contiguous spread to a peribronchial lymph node. The current literature is reviewed.
