| Abstract [eng] |
Glomus tumors are rare neoplasms that usually appear in subungual locations. A primary glomus tumor in the chest wall is extremely rare. We present a case of a 42-year-old male with intermittent pain under the right scapula for approximately a year. No skin lesions were observed. A magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scan showed a well-defined subpleural lesion on the right side of the chest along the ninth intercostal space. The tumor was removed via video-assisted thoracic surgery. The pathological report revealed a glomangioma. We analyzed in detail existing cases of glomus tumors in the chest wall. The chest wall is a possible site of a glomus tumor, which doesn’t have any specific clinical or radiological signs. Radical surgical removal should be the treatment of choice. |
