Glomus tumor is a rare mesenchyme tumor of the gastrointestinal tract, especially of stomach. We describe unusual presentation of gastric Glomus tumor of 76-year-old patient who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Subsequent investigation showed tumor of 3 cm at the posterior wall of the stomach. A wedge resection of the tumor was performed using laparoscopic staplers. The histological examination and immunohistochemical stains confirmed diagnosis of gastric Glomus tumor.
