Abstract
Glomus tumor is a rare mesenchyme tumor of the gastrointestinal tract, especially of stomach. We describe unusual presentation of gastric Glomus tumor of 76-year-old patient who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Subsequent investigation showed tumor of 3 cm at the posterior wall of the stomach. A wedge resection of the tumor was performed using laparoscopic staplers. The histological examination and immunohistochemical stains confirmed diagnosis of gastric Glomus tumor. We discuss the management before operation, the problems of diagnosis and surgical treatment of the patient with unusual location and presentation of the lesion.
