The glomus tumor is a distinctive benign neoplasm, the cells of which resemble the modified smooth muscle cells of the normal glomus body. This tumor occurs most frequently in the extremities but may find elsewhere in the body. Only one case of mediastinal glomus tumor has been reported in the world. Recently we experienced a case of mediastinal glomus tumor managed with surgical removal and followed up without any significant complications for 17 months.
