Pulmonary glomus tumor.
Glomus tumor, also known as glomangioma, is a neoplasm derived from cells of the neuromyoarterial glomus or glomus body. We report a case of glomus tumor of the lung arising in the left lower lobe, incidentally found in a patient who underwent right bilobectomy for a carcinoma localized in the right upper lobe.
