    Abstract:
    Glomus tumor of the stomach is still a rare disease. In Japan, till now, only 78 cases have been reported as far as we look over the literatures. We report a case of glomangioma of the stomach. The patient is a 44-years old female who underwent a medical examination and pointed out a gastric submucosal tumor, but she had no symptoms and admitted for operation. The endoscopical finding was a submucosal tumor as large as 4 cm, and the result of biopsy was chronic atrophic gastritis. So typical gastrectomy was performed without a definite diagnosis. In the cross section, the tumor was clearly bounded gastric mucosa by a white membrane, and the center of the tumor was spongy. By patho-histological and electro-microscopic study, we diagnosed that the tumor was glomangioma in the classification of Weiss & Enzinger. The patient was getting on well after the operation and left the hospital on the 29th day.
