[Meningioma of the ear simulating a glomus tumor: report on two cases (author's transl)]. 1982

P Fleury, and J P Caron, and J M Basset, and J R Gallois, and O Sterkers, and G Aben-Moha, and P Royer

Two further cases of a meningioma of the ear simulating a glomus tumor are reported, pathological features in the first case leading to intensive discussion. Two such cases had been previously described in great detail in a paper published in 1977. In those patients, the differential diagnosis froma jugular glomus tumor was only established two and a half years later in one case, when excision was necessary because of an intracranial recurrence, and following-re-examination of all sections of jugular glomus tumors previously operated upon, in the other case. Factors enabling detection of meningiomas simulating glomus tumors were also discussed in the original report. Theses included discordance of clinical finding, -minimal signs on arteriography, -the primordial value of contrast computed tomography, -systematic alerting of the pathologist.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008579 Meningioma A relatively common neoplasm of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that arises from arachnoidal cells. The majority are well differentiated vascular tumors which grow slowly and have a low potential to be invasive, although malignant subtypes occur. Meningiomas have a predilection to arise from the parasagittal region, cerebral convexity, sphenoidal ridge, olfactory groove, and SPINAL CANAL.

D010236 Paraganglioma, Extra-Adrenal A relatively rare, usually benign neoplasm originating in the chemoreceptor tissue of the CAROTID BODY; GLOMUS JUGULARE; GLOMUS TYMPANICUM; AORTIC BODIES; and the female genital tract. It consists histologically of rounded or ovoid hyperchromatic cells that tend to be grouped in an alveolus-like pattern within a scant to moderate amount of fibrous stroma and a few large thin-walled vascular channels.

D005925 Glomus Jugulare Tumor A paraganglioma involving the glomus jugulare, a microscopic collection of chemoreceptor tissue in the adventitia of the bulb of the jugular vein. It may cause paralysis of the vocal cords, attacks of dizziness, blackouts, and nystagmus. It is not resectable but radiation therapy is effective. It regresses slowly, but permanent control is regularly achieved.
