A rare case of benign gastric tumor: Glomus tumor

We present a case of gastric glomus tumor (GGT). It is an unusual benign neoplasm of the stomach which can easily be confused with the other benign tumors such as leiomyoma. In this case report, most prominent diagnostic features of the gastric glomus tumor were reported. We also defined the computerized tomographic features of the GGT for the first time. Local excision of the tumor was carried out as an appropriate procedure for the treatment of the patient.
