Objective To enhance the understanding of primary pulmonary glomus tumor involvement on radiological findings. Methods The CT findings of one case with primary pulmonary glomus tumor proven by pathology were retrospectively analyzed, and literature reviewed. Results A 53-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for an abnormal shadow in the right lung on a routine chest radiograph. Unenhanced CT showed a well-delineated round mass, 3.8cm in diameter, in the right medius lobe; no calcification or fat attenuation was seen. After injection of contrastmedium, the peripheral portion of the mass was markedly enhanced but the central portionwas poorly enhanced. Conclusion Primary pulmonary glomus tumor is very rare. Radiological investigation is helpful for localization of the tumor, and not specific. Pathological and immunohistochemical examination is required for considered in the diagnosis of primary pulmonary glomus tumor.
