Abstract

Surgery is the treatment of choice in the management of glomus tumours. There are several different approaches to the surgical excision of these tumours, the choice depending on the size, site of origin and pattern of spread of the tumour. The patterns of glomus tumour invasion in the temporal bone are demonstrated by reviewing the histological findings in four temporal bones with glomus tumours. The surgical techniques used in the management of 14 glomus tumours are also discussed.
