Jugulotympanic paraganglioma (glomus tumour) presenting with recurrent epistaxis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 March 2006
Abstract
A case is presented where a left jugulotympanic paraganglioma (JTP) extended to the nasopharynx and the patient presented with recurrent epistaxis. Although initial biopsy of an aural polyp had been suggestive of the diagnosis several years previously, the diagnosis was not confirmed until the patient presented with recurrent epistaxis and severe anaemia. Tothe best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported of such a presentation of JTP.
