ABSTRACT
Glomus tumors are rare mesenchymal tumors involving cells from the glomus body, smooth muscle, and vasculature, typically found in distal extremities' skin. This case describes a 54-year-old woman with a history of hypothyroidism and hyperlipidemia, incidentally discovered to have a four-centimeter calcified renal tumor. Surgery was performed due to suspected malignancy. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed a renal glomus tumor, positive for muscle actin and smooth muscle actin (SMA). The tumor was benign, and no adjuvant therapy was needed. The patient remained recurrence-free during follow-up. Renal glomus tumors are predominantly benign, with surgical resection as the primary treatment.
