  • Title: Glomus tumor of the mediastinum.
    Author: Rychlik IJ, O'Donnell ME, Davey P, Merard R, McGuigan J.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2014 Jan; 22(1):95-7. PubMed ID: 24585654.
    Abstract:
    Glomus tumors are rare benign myoepithelial neoplasms that can present with intractable pain. We report the case of a 59-year-old gentleman who presented with upper abdominal and chest pain caused by a posterior mediastinal glomus tumor arising from the spinal column, which required surgical resection. As glomus tumors usually develop in the limbs, this case highlights the complexity of diagnosis and treatment of glomus tumors when they present in rare locations.
