Summary
A rare benign tracheal glomus tumor was successfully resected in a patient. This case highlights the importance of considering tracheal glomus tumors in the differential diagnosis of enhancing tracheal masses found on CT scans.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pulmonology
- Pathology
Background:
- Glomus tumors are rare benign neoplasms, typically affecting the skin.
- Tracheal glomus tumors are exceptionally rare due to the infrequent presence of glomus bodies in the trachea.
- Existing literature primarily consists of isolated case reports.

The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a vital part of the human respiratory system. It serves as a passageway for air to travel between the larynx and the bronchi, allowing oxygen to reach the lungs. Let's explore its anatomical features, dimensions, layers of the tracheal wall, associated muscles, and the functions of its parts.
Anatomical Features:
Location: About half of the trachea is situated in the neck, anterior to the esophagus, and extends from the larynx (at the level of...

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
