Abstract
Study Design: A rare case report in a male and review of the literature.
Objectives: To describe a case report of invasive glomus jugulare tumor with intracranial extension.
Methods: A 35-year-old male complaints of pulsating tinnitus on his left ear and progressive ipsilateral hearing loss for 4 years. Audiological examination and radiological assessment including Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Image were carried out. We diagnosed it as invasive glomus jugulare tumor with the intracranial extension (type D2).
Conclusion: Glomus tumors are uncommon slow growing and the hypervascularized benign tumor that arises within the jugular foramen of temporal bone but often locally aggressive and produce a permeative pattern of bone destruction. It is commoner in females (F: M ratio 3-6:1) and an estimated annual incidence of 1 case per 1.3 million people. In most cases diagnosis confirmed by imaging studies.
