[Laparoscopic diagnosis of glomus tumors]. / Laparoskopicheskaia diagnostika glomusnykh opukholei.

3 cases of glomus tumors of the stomach, small bowel and lesser omentum were examined. In one patient the tumor was manifested through intraabdominal hemorrhage, diagnosed during laparoscopy; but the source of the hemorrhage remained unrecognized. The puncture of the tumor, which proved its benign character, was performed in the second case. The biopsy taken at the laparoscopy in the third patient showed angioleiomyosarcoma. All the patients were operated.
