Lung glomus tumours are quite rare. The current authors present the first reported case of a lung-derived glomangiomyoma, the rarest variant of glomus tumour. A 56-yr-old female was admitted with haemoptysis. Chest computed tomography showed an ∼5-cm-diameter mass in the right lower lobe with mucoid impaction. After a right lower lobectomy, a diagnosis of glomangiomyoma was made. The tumour had grown endobronchially and its maximal diameter was 5.5 cm. Although cytologically benign, glomus tumour cells had visibly infiltrated neighbouring vessels. These results suggest that a bronchogenic glomangiomyoma has a low-grade malignancy potential and warrants close follow-up. %U https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/erj/28/5/1060.full.pdf
