Glomus tumour of the colon: dynamic contrast-enhanced CT findings and review of the literature

Clinical Imaging
Tien Jin TanPeter L Munk

Abstract

We describe the peculiar enhancement pattern of a subepithelial colonic glomus tumour on dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Discontinuous, peripheral nodular enhancement of the colonic lesion followed by subsequent centripetal filling-in of contrast was reminiscent of a hepatic haemangioma, which has not been described with a glomus or any other subepithelial tumour of the colon. When encountered, this tumour enhancement pattern raises the possibility of a colonic glomus tumour prior to histological confirmation.
