Description
Summary:	The light-and electron-microscopic structure of the glomus tumor of the palate of a 20 years old male was described. Light-microscopically the tumor was composed of epithelioid cells with round or ovoid nuclei and clear cytoplasm, and the 3 types of microscopic appearance-solid, angiomatous, mucoid-hyaline-were observed. Electron-microscopically the tumor cells did not show a typical smooth muscle cell appearance, but a modified smooth muscle cell appearance.
