Abstract
|
|
|
|
Malignant glomus tumor is an exceedingly rare neoplasm occurring in the soft tissues. Controversy exists over whether malignant glomus tumor is a true malignancy due to the rarity of metastasis, however, this neoplasm has been known to show relatively fre-quent metastasis and poor outcome. To improve the outcome of systemic therapy for malignant glomus tumor might be necessary, but the appropriate chemotherapy or radio-therapy has yet to be elucidated. We report a case of malignant glomus tumor with multiple pulmonary metastases treated with total surgical resection and adjuvant chemo-therapy including doxorubicin and ifosfamide; however 7 months after completion of chemotherapy primary lung nodules increased. This case suggests that these chemo-therapeutic agents are not effective for the management of malignant glomus tumor with metastasis.
