| Popis: | The glomus tumor (GT) is a benign neoplasm originating from the cells of the glomus body; its incidence in the head and neck region is 0.6%. Clinically, it presents as a small, soft, and solitary nodule with variable size and location. Histologically, it is classified into glomangioma, glomangiomyoma, and solid glomus tumor. Surgery is the treatment of choice and recurrence is rare. We present the case of a 29-year-old female patient, who presented with an exophytic lesion that was soft, painful, and bleeding, located at the level of the interdental papilla between the 11th and 21st teeth. The panoramic radiograph did not reveal relevant data and excisional biopsy was performed. The histopathologic report indicates glomangioma. Currently, after 1 year of follow-up, the patient remains asymptomatic with no recurrence. The intraoral GT are extremely rare, and their timely diagnosis will help reduce the morbidity associated with them. |
