A very rare case of glomus tumor of the colon presenting with forsion of the sigmoid colon is reported. An 82-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of abdominal distension and abdominal pain. There was a previous history of undergoing an operation for a mesenteric mesothelioma 7 years before. The patient underwent sigmoidectomy for torsion of the sigmoid colon and a tumorous lesion was found at the neck of the torsion. Pathological findings of the lesion revealed glomus tumor without malignancy arising from the proper muscle layer, serosa and mesenterium of the colon. Clomus tumors are painful and occur mostly in the extremities, particularly in the subungal region. These tumors can occasionally occur in the gastrointestinal tract, wherein the stomach is the most frequent site of occurrence. According to our knowledge, only one case of glomus tumor of the colon has been reported by Baura in 1988. |
