Abstract

In a study done at the Geisinger Medical Center in 1976, the results of treatment of 30 cases of glomus tumors involving the ear were reviewed. All 8 cases of glomus tympanicum were controlled with surgery and all of the cases of glomus jugulare treated with high voltage radiotherapy were controlled for from 2 to 12 years. Currently, the length of control extends to 15 years and there have been no late recurrences. Three additional cases showing unusual features of glomus jugulare are presented.
