Gastric adenomyoma is a rare, benign neoplasm, often mistaken as a gastrointestinal stromal tumor and not properly identified until after surgical excision. The importance of defining the diagnosis in this entity is highlighted by the fact that these tumors do not require surgical excision. General knowledge of this neoplasm is lacking among physicians. In case reports, this tumor was either incidentally discovered and removed or found during workup for nonspecific GI symptoms and removed because of suspicion for gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Multiple papers state that surgical excision is necessary for diagnostic clarity. We present an updated review of the modern literature and a case of gastric adenomyoma, as well as define an algorithm using histology and immunohistochemical (IHC) stains (desmin, CKIT, DOG1, PDGF and CK7) for the diagnosis of gastric adenomyoma in a noninvasive manner in order to potentially avoid unnecessary surgery.

AbstractGlomus tumors are a mostly benign neoplasm that constitutes less than 4% of upper-limb soft-tissue tumors. Its unspecific clinical presentation, added to its low frequency, leads to a late diagnosis.The objective of the present study is to update the clinical-paraclinical approach and the surgical technique used in the treatment.We carried out a literature review from 2014 to 2019 on digital glomus tumor in the hand in adult patients using the PubMed search engine.In most of the publications analyzed, the diagnosis was clinical, with a delay of 1 to 10 years. Plain radiography is the most requested study; of the 16 articles reporting its indication, only half evidenced compatible changes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was requested in 15 articles, presenting normal results in 3 of them. The treatment of choice was surgical excision using a transungual approach. Only 4 articles report recurrence after excision.Although there is diversity in the approach to these tumors, we conclude that the diagnosis is clinical, and the treatment surgical, and there is no consensus regarding the paraclinical indication. The information available comes mainly from case reports, publications that contribute to the generation of evidence for the clinical practice in rare diseases such as this one.
