Abstract
Glomus tumors are neoplasms originating from glomus bodies in the dermis or subcutis of the extremities and are mostly benign. Malignant lung glomic tumors are extremely rare. Here, we report a case of a 31-year-old man who presented with hemoptysis for 1 month. Chest CT scan demonstrated a malignant tumor in the parahilar region of the right upper lobe. A bronchoscopic biopsy was performed and diagnosed as atypical carcinoid tumor. Staging 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT depicted a tumor with intense tracer uptake in the right pulmonary hilum, with no other lesions. Postoperatively, the mass was diagnosed as a primary malignant lung glomic tumor.
