  • Glomus Tympanicum in infancy
    Archives of Otolaryngology-head & Neck Surgery, 1994
    Co-Authors: Ian N Jacobs, William P Potsic
    Abstract:

    A Glomus Tympanicum Tumor, limited to the cochlear promontory, was excised from the middle ear of a 6-month-old girl. To our knowledge, there have been no reports of temporal bone paragangliomas occurring at a younger age. Diagnosis, therapy, and the special characteristics of pediatric Glomus Tumors are discussed.

  • diode laser assisted excision of Glomus Tympanicum Tumor do diode lasers help in hemostasis and Tumor removal
    Journal of Medical Sciences, 2013
    Co-Authors: Poshao Chen, Chaoyin Kuo, Hsinchien Chen, Chengping Shih, Chihhung Wang
    Abstract:

    This report focuses on the use of a diode laser on a 37-year-old woman with a Glomus Tympanicum Tumor that completely filled her middle ear space. Through a postauricular approach, the exposed vascular Tumor was gently coagulated to shrink it and sectioned to detach it from the middle ear using a diode laser, followed by the piecemeal removal of the Tumor in toto. Ossicular reconstruction was performed in a single-stage tympano-ossiculoplasty. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course, and the audiometry revealed a complete closure of the air-bone gap one year after the operation. Due to its flexible delivery system that can sufficiently work in such restricted middle ear spaces, the application of the diode laser to treat the Glomus Tympanicum allowed adequate hemostasis to be achieved while avoiding subsequent sequelae. We demonstrate that the diode laser is a well applicable tool in treating highly vascular Tumors of the middle ear like Glomus Tympanicum.

  • en bloc surgical removal of an asymptomatic Glomus Tympanicum Tumor
    Journal of The Chinese Medical Association, 2011
    Co-Authors: Yingliang Chou, Borrong Huang, Chihhung Wang
    Abstract:

    Glomus Tympanicum (GT) Tumors are usually characterized by pulsatile tinnitus and hearing loss. We report on a woman 53 years of age who was diagnosed with a GT Tumor within her right ear with no associated tinnitus or hearing loss on presentation. An early GT Tumor without the characteristic symptoms is seldom encountered. Although several papers have dealt with GT Tumor diagnosis and management, very few have demonstrated such a condition in which the entire GT Tumor appeared in the middle ear cavity and was totally removed during the operation. There was no recurrence at 24 months of follow-up. We describe a novel surgical technique in this article and demonstrate an en bloc GT surgical removal that has been seldom published before in the literature.

  • Middle ear and mastoid Glomus Tumors (Glomus Tympanicum): An algorithm for the surgical management.
    2010
    Co-Authors: Sanna M, Fois P, Pasanisi E, Russo A, Bacciu A.
    Abstract:

    Auris Nasus Larynx. 2010 Dec;37(6):661-8. Epub 2010 Apr 18. Middle ear and mastoid Glomus Tumors (Glomus Tympanicum): an algorithm for the surgical management. Sanna M, Fois P, Pasanisi E, Russo A, Bacciu A. SourceGruppo Otologico, Piacenza-Rome, Italy. Abstract OBJECTIVE: Glomus Tumors are slow-growing benign lesions and represent the most common primary neoplasms of the middle ear. The objective of the present study is to report our surgical strategy in the management of Glomus Tympanicum Tumors. METHODS: Between December 1988 and July 2008, 68 patients with histologically confirmed Glomus Tympanicum Tumor underwent surgical treatment. The follow-up of the series ranged from 6 to 194 months (mean, 33.4 months). RESULTS: Distribution of Tumors according to Fisch and Mattox classification was as follows: type A, 44 cases (64.7%); type B, 24 cases (35.3%). All of the 44 Class A Tumors were safely removed via either a stapedectomy-type transcanal approach or a retroauricolar-transcanal approach. Five patients with Class B Tumors were operated on through a transmastoid approach. Nineteen patients with larger Class B Tumors underwent a subtotal petrosectomy with blind sac closure of the external auditory canal and middle ear obliteration. Gross total Tumor removal was achieved in all 68 cases. In one case (1.4%) there was recurrence after 9 years, for which the patient was re-operated. No residual/recurrence has been detected on computed tomography in the rest of the patients. CONCLUSION: Surgical excision of Glomus Tympanicum Tumors is a safe procedure, allowing total Tumor removal with minimal morbidity, a low recurrence rate, and a low complication rate
