Article Abstract
Objective: To provide a retrospective assessment of clinical characteristics of the patients with gastric glomus tumors and the imaging features of the tumors on multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT).
Methods: Consecutive patients with gastric glomus tumor which was confirmed by postoperative pathology from January 2004 to January 2012 in a tertiary hospital were included in the study. The MDCT images and medical records of the patients including the imaging features of the tumor on MDCT such as its location, number, shape, growth pattern, size, density and enhancement pattern were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: Altogether ten patients were included in the study, including seven women and three men, with a mean age of 46.6 years (range 25-67 years). Most patients had nonspecific clinical symptoms. All lesions were located at the gastric antrum, with a mean diameter of 2.7 cm. The gastric glomus tumor showed strong enhancement at the arterial phase, a progressive filled-in enhanced pattern and prolonged enhancement during multiphasic scans.
Conclusions: Gastric glomus tumor is clinically an extremely rare disease. The combination of tumor location, size and the characteristic enhancement pattern of the subepithelial lesion may suggest a diagnosis of gastric glomus tumor.

Introduction: Gastric glomus tumor is a rare submucosal mesenchymal tumor with no distinct features on endoscopy. In clinical practice, it is often treated with laparoscopic partial gastrectomy. Here, we report a case of gastric glomus tumor successfully resected using a combination of gastroscopy and laparoscopy.

Introduction And Importance: Gastric glomus tumors (GGT) are rare soft tissue tumors of the gastrointestinal tracts (GIT). It is somewhat challenging to establish the diagnosis of GGT and differentiate it from the more common submucosal neoplasms.
Case Presentation: A 34-year-old female patient presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Article Synopsis
- - Gastric glomus tumor (GGT) is a rare, typically benign tumor that can sometimes become malignant; it usually doesn't cause symptoms but can lead to issues like dyspepsia.
- - A 59-year-old man suffering from persistent dyspepsia underwent tests that revealed a 30 mm subepithelial lesion in his stomach, which was confirmed as GGT after a fine-needle aspiration biopsy.
- - The tumor was successfully removed using a specialized endoscopic technique, and after 9 months of follow-up, the patient remains symptom-free, showcasing the effectiveness of this treatment approach.

Article Synopsis
- Glomus tumors (GTs) are mostly benign neoplasms found in the upper gastrointestinal tract, making malignant cases exceptionally rare, which complicates diagnosis due to similarities with other tumors.
- A 52-year-old male patient experienced fatigue and bleeding, leading to the discovery of a gastric GT after multiple examinations, with histopathology confirming it as a potentially malignant tumor.
- The case highlights the need for detailed histopathological and molecular analysis for correct diagnosis and stresses the importance of surgical intervention and long-term monitoring for recurrence and malignancy risks.

Sparse literature describes the imaging findings of gastric glomus tumors (GGT), focusing on benign tumors. We are not aware of prior radiology reports on malignant GGT. The aim of the study was to determine whether it is possible to differentiate between benign and malignant GGT on CT or MR.
