Massive glomus tumor of the stomach: 20-year follow-up and autopsy findings.

Abstract

A massive glomus tumor of the greater curvature of the stomach was removed in 1961. The patient made an uneventful recovery and died 21 years later of causes unrelated to the tumor. The literature of glomus tumors of the stomach is discussed. The pathology of the lesion is described and the autopsy findings are presented.
