Abstract:
The glomus tumor is a distinctive benign neoplasm with a small painful nodule, occurs most commonly in extremities but may be found elsewhere in the body. Its occurrence in the trachea or lung parenchyme has been recognized with extreme rarity and there has not been any report, to our knowledge, of its occurrence in the main bronchial glomus tumor. We report a case of a glomus tumor in the left main bronchus in a 67-year-old man who was presented with blood-tinged sputum and dyspnea, which was completely relieved by surgical resection.
