OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the value of color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) in the diagnosis of glomus tumors in the extremities. METHODS Sonography results of 62 nodules of 50 patients with glomus tumors in the extremities confirmed by surgery and pathology were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS The sex ratio in the group of 50 patients was (female:male) = 5.25:1. Glo...

Introduction. Glomus tumors (GTs) are benign neoplasm originating from the glomus body, commonly described in subungual region. The involvement abdominal is rare. Our aim is to describe a case of glomus tumor of the stomach that presented upper gastrointestinal bleeding. A 34-year-old woman was admitted with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and underwent an upper endoscopy that showed bleeding a...

BACKGROUND Glomus tumours are neoplasms arising from cells of the neuromyoarterial glomus bodies, which almost always occur in a subungual location. A lung location is extremely rare, with few cases reported in the literature. CLINICAL CASE The case is presented of a 33 year-old male, with non-productive cough, dyspnoea at rest, intermittent fever, and mild pain in rib cage. A chest radiograp...

Onychomatricoma and glomus tumor are two rare subungual neoplasms with distinct clinical and histopathological features. We report a case of onychomatricoma associated with a glomus tumor in the subungual region of the same finger in a 45-year-old woman. Histopathological examination revealed characteristic findings of both onychomatricoma and glomus tumor. To the best of our knowledge, these t...

We have tested the suitability of chromaffin-like carotid body glomus cells for dopamine cell replacement in Parkinsonian rats. Intrastriatal grafting of cell aggregates resulted in almost optimal abolishment of motor asymmetries and deficits of sensorimotor orientation. Recovery of transplanted animals was apparent 10 days after surgery and progressed throughout the 3 months of the study. The ...

The tolerance of lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Romana) to drought stress differed with the arbuscular-mycorrhizal fungal isolate with which the plants were associated. Seven fungal species belonging to the genus Glomus were studied for their ability to enhance the drought tolerance of lettuce plants. These fungi had different traits that affected the drought resistance of host plants. T...

Since STILLING proposed in 1892 that the carotid body contains cells which become brown after treatment in potassium dichromate, the chromaffinity of the carotid body has long been a matter of dispute (for a detailed discussion, see ADAMS 1958). The occurrence of catecholamines in every glomus cell has recently been identified by pharmacological and fluorescence methods (RAHN 1961, NIEMI and OJ...

Glomus tumor is a benign soft tissue neoplasm which commonly affects the subungual region of the fingers. But the tumors can also arise in the other sites such as the antrum of the stomach. We are reporting a case of a glomus tumor of the stomach in a 71-year-old female patient who presented with dyspepsia. The tumor was confined to the lamina muscularis propria, it consisted of round cells wit...

The response of pea (Pisum sativum cv. Avola) to arbuscular micorrizal fungi (AM) species Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices and Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. Viciae, strain D293 regarding growth, nodulation and nitrogen fixing activity was studied. Pea plants (Pisum sativum cv. Avola) were grown in a glasshouse until flowering stage (35 days) in 4 kg plastic pots using leached cinnamonic for...
