Computed tomography revealed a well‐enhanced omental mass. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a mass with low signal intensity on T1‐weighted images (WI) and high signal intensity on T2‐WI. Resected specimens immunohistochemically showed positive results for alpha‐smooth muscle actin, muscle‐specific actin (HHF35) and vimentin, and negative results for S‐100 protein, CD34, desmin, EMA, keratin, calretinin, HBME1, and c‐kit. This is the first case of an omental glomus tumor reported in the English literature. J. Surg. Oncol. 2007;96:633–636. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
