The fine structure of five cases of glomus tumor was described. All of the cases showed a
solid type, and the glomus cells were shown to be typical or modified smooth muscle cells. The
authors' conclusion is that the glomus cells were not derived from pericytes, but from smooth muscle
cells of vascular part of the glomus, and are thought to
be
a specialized smooth muscle cell tumor.
