Glomus Jugulare Tumour

Glomus tumours of the skull base are rare, and most frequently present with symptoms of hearing loss and tinnitus. Diagnosis is often delayed due to the slow growth of the tumour. We describe the previously unreported occurrence of a glomus tumour presenting with a unilateral accessory nerve palsy.

Glomus Jugulare Tumour

AbstractMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features in a case of malignant glomus jugulare tumour are reported. Chemodectomas are benign in 95 per cent of cases and malignant in five per cent. Only one case report of CT findings in this unusual CP angle tumour with pulmonary metastases has been cited in the literature.It is concluded that MRI can provide useful information about the nature of chemodectomas although it cannot dislinguish between benign and malignant tumours, except when regional lymph nodes are involved or when distant metastases exist.

Glomus Jugulare Tumour

Glomus jugulare tumours are classically described as benign tumours with a long time course often measured in decades. Although these tumours may be locally invasive, most cases are histologically benign and metastases are rare. The case of a malignant glomus jugulare tumour with a particularly aggressive pattern of spread is presented. At the time of surgery, which was within 12 months of the development of symptoms, intracranial spread and metastasis to cervical lymph nodes had already occurred, demonstrating that glomus jugulare tumours are not always benign.

Work Up

Background: Glomus jugulare tumor is a rare, slow-growing, hyper-vascular paraganglioma that originates from the neural crest derivatives in the wall of the jugular bulb. The most common clinical manifestations of glomus jugulare are pulsatile tinnitus, conductive hearing loss, and hoarseness due to its vascularity and invasion of surrounding structures. Isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy as a presenting feature of the glomus jugulare is very rare. Case Report: We report a 61-year-old woman with a past medical history of breast cancer and diabetic mellitus presenting with progressive difficulty handling food in her mouth and tongue atrophy. Investigations showed skull base lesion and solitary pulmonary nodule. Further work-up led to glomus jugulare and benign solitary pulmonary fibrous tumor diagnosis, although the first impression was metastatic involvement of the jugular foramen. Endovascular embolization of the glomus jugulare was performed, but the patient refused any open surgery due to co-morbidities and the risk of operation. She had no new symptoms at the one-year follow-up, and the size of the lesion became more minor on the follow-up imaging relative to the baseline. Conclusion: Glomus jugulare tumors should be considered and surveyed in the diagnostic work-up of patients with hypoglossal nerve palsy. [GMJ.2021;10:e2222]

Glomus Jugulare Tumour

AbstractA 47-year-old man presented, in 1990, with a short history of left-sided cerebellar ataxia. In 1986 he had undergone excision of a glomus jugulare tumour. A magnetic resonance (MRI) scan demonstrated cerebellar herniation through a defect in his skull base. Surgical repair was undertaken with resolution of his symptoms.
