Popis: Computed tomography revealed a well-enhanced omental mass. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a mass with low signal intensity on T1-weighted images (WI) and high signal intensity on T2-WI. Resected specimens immunohistochemically showed positive results for alpha-smooth muscle actin, muscle-specific actin (HHF35) and vimentin, and negative results for S-100 protein, CD34, desmin, EMA, keratin, calretinin, HBME1, and c-kit. This is the first case of an omental glomus tumor reported in the English literature.
