Glomus jugulotympanicum tumor treated with radiation therapy: A case report with review of literature
Glomus tumors (or paragangliomas) are rare, benign tumors of neuroendocrine origin that appear in tissues of paraganglionic origin. This clinical entity poses a significant treatment challenge due to its proximity to critical neurovascular structures, thus the potential of morbid functional damage caused by disease progression and/or treatment approach. While surgery remains the standard of care for such cases, there has been an increasing trend toward management with radiotherapy or close observation. Here, we present a case of a large and irregularly shaped glomus jugulotympanicum tumor that was treated with volumetric arc radiotherapy. Given the risk of cranial neuropathy with surgery, radiation was the preferred treatment modality. This case demonstrated the safety and efficacy of volumetric arc radiotherapy in the management of a large glomus tumor with a complex shape.
