A rare location of the glomus tumor in the abdominal aorta

Abstract

Glomus tumors are rare, mostly benign, and often superficial tumors that commonly occur on the upper and lower extremities. Whereas other locations have been described in the literature, we report the first case of glomus tumor in the abdominal aorta in a 21-year-old patient.
