A case of middle ear adenoma suspected as glomus tumor

Most reported cases of middle ear adenoma (MEA) have focused on histopathology because MEA is usually diagnosed postoperatively, which is considered as a major setback. We focused on the surgical aspect of the disease to facilitate a preoperative diagnosis, resulting in prompt and proper treatment, without requiring a second stage of surgical treatment. In this report, we present the differential diagnoses in a 40-year-old man with MEA requiring surgical treatment. Preoperatively, the patient was suspected to have an MEA. An analysis of the surgical procedures in similar misdiagnosed tumors has enabled us to assess surgical procedures in cases wherein the preoperative diagnosis does not coincide with the postoperative histopathological results.

Introduction: Inspite of modern radiological work up, surgeons can still be surprised by intraoperative findings or by pathologists report. Materials and methods: We present the case history of a 51 year old male who came to our institute with complaints of unilateral hearing loss, involuntary facial movements and retroauricular pain for a period of 1 year. He underwent Fisch approach with short segment mobilization of facial nerve. Results: Though pre-operative CT and MRI findings were suggestive of a petroclival mass he had middle ear adenoma.

Clinical Cases

The glomus tumor is considered to be the most common of all tumors that involve the middle ear. This report defines the glomus tumor and discusses the symptomatology of the tumor with respect to the various developmental courses it may follow. Forty clinical cases of glomus tumor are reviewed, with emphasis upon the incidence of the tumor and its symptoms, including the audiological manifestations noted in this series of cases. Current medical management of the glomus tumor recommends surgical removal of the lesion when possible; however, irradiation and embolization of the tumor may also be considered when its invasion into surrounding structures has been extensive. The pathology and its treatment may have marked temporary or permanent effects upon the hearing of the patient, and the importance of ongoing audiological management is therefore emphasized.
