Abstract
- The therapeutic options for glomus tumor management are either palliative (ie, radiation, embolization or a combination) or definitive (ie, surgery or combinations of surgery-radiation, radiation-surgery or embolization-surgery). Of these, surgical excision is the standard treatment modality for glomus tympanicum tumors. As glomus tympanicum tumor has highly vascular nature, profuse hemorrhage may be intermittently induced during its removal. Preoperative embolization is used frequently to reduce intraoperative bleeding. We report a case of glomus tympanicum tumor which was removed completely with the help of direct inject of HistoacrylR into the mass during the operation. This method allows almost bloodless ablation of the entire tumor.
