Nasopharyngeal extension of the glomus tympanicum is rare. Only 2 cases have been reported in the literature to date. We present a reported case of a large nasopharyngeal extension of recurrent glomus tympanicum, with various kinds of imaging and histopathology and a review of the literature.

PURPOSE We examined other middle ear locations of glomus tympanicum tumors, which arise from glomus bodies accompanying the tympanic (Jacobson's) nerve through the middle ear. Most descriptions place these tumors on the promontory over the basal turn of the cochlea. METHODS We identified seven patients (all women) with small surgically confirmed glomus tympanicum tumors (not completely fillin...

Background. Glomus Tympanicum is the commonest middle ear neoplasm. Total removal through conservative middle-ear surgery is the gold standard of treatment. Variable surgical techniques have been reported with modifications. Hypothesis. Using endoscopes improves diagnosis and surgical removal of glomus tympanicum. Study design. Prospective case series. Methods. Examination of ears with suspecte...

Glomus tympanicum, a hypervascular tumor in the middle ear, is usually suspected based on pulsatile tinnitus and retrotympanic reddish mass on otoscopic examination. These hallmarks may be masked by other middle ear diseases. Herein, we report an unusual case of the extensive glomus tympanicum masqueraded as chronic granulomatous otitis media, which was extirpated without preoperative embolizat...

SUMMARY A case of recurrent glomus tympanicum presenting with epistaxis is described. CT and MR imaging revealed a homogeneously enhancing mass extending along the entire course of the eustachian tube, with a portion protruding into the nasopharynx. Glomus tumors tend to spread along the path of least resistance and may extend into the eustachian tube. The unique imaging appearance should place...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness on function preservation and tumor control of the treatment of glomus tympanicum tumors with pre-operative embolization followed by total surgical resection. MATERIAL AND METHODS We describe a series of 6 patients with a glomus tympanicum tumor who were treated in our hospital using the same technique: the day before surgery ...
