Abstract
Glomus tumours are distinctive neoplasms arising in the cells of the glomus body. Histologically they resemble modified smooth muscle cells. It usually occurs over the limbs. However, several unusual sites of occurrence have been described. These include the patella, chest wall, bone, heart, stomach, eyelid, lung, rectum, etc. Tracheal tumours have been described.
We discuss a case of glomus tumour arising from the proximal trachea in a 43-year old male with complaints of intermittent hemoptysis and chest pain, and describe resection of this tumour using a rigid bronchoscopic technique.
An overview of tracheal glomus tumours is presented.
