Abstract

Glomus tumors, rare neoplasms showing differentiation resembling the glomus body associated with the skin, present significant diagnostic challenges due to their rarity and potential for misdiagnosis. This study reports on a 26-year-old woman whose imaging initially suggested renal cell carcinoma; however, histopathological analysis of the partial nephrectomy identified the mass as a glomangioma. Alongside this report, we provide a comprehensive review of the literature, emphasizing the importance of histopathological examination in differentiating these tumors. The unique hereditary findings of this report contribute to the limited, but crucial understanding of renal glomus tumors, highlighting the need for awareness and careful evaluation of renal masses, particularly due to their nonspecific imaging features.
