A glomus tumor is a benign mesenchymal tumor developing either from the neuromuscular glomus cells or from the glomus bodies of the smooth muscle cells. While the gastrointestinal system is rarely the location for glomus tumors, extracutaneous glomus tumors are often encountered in the stomach. This study presents a 36-year-old male patient who applied to the hospital with complaints of nausea and vomiting accompanied by a stomach pain that gradually increased over two days, and the endoscopic inspections have revealed a subepithelial lesion, which was removed with partial gastrectomy. Histopathological evaluations have shown that the tumor is based on the submucosal layer, and had infiltrated into the muscular mucosa. Histopathologic evaluations and immunohistochemical staining had revealed the tumor as a glomus tumor.
