Abstract
Glomus tumor is a vascular tumor that originates from glomus body. It is typically seen in young adults and localized in distal extremities and nail beds. It often presents with stuffiness, rhinorrhea and pain. Glomus tumor is rare in the head and neck region. A 79 year-old-male who presented with stuffiness and ear congestion, was found to have a mass located in the posterior of the nasal cavity on rhinoscopic examination. Macroscopically, the excisional biopsy of the mass had an irregular surface and hyperemia. Pathology of the biopsy showed that the lesion consisted vascular structures, which were surrounded by solid epithelioid, acidophilic and smooth muscle actin positive cells. The case was diagnosed as nasal glomus tumor.
