Abstract
1.1. Study Design A rare case report in a male and review of literature. 1.2. Objectives To describe a case report of invasive glomus jugulare tumor with intracranial extension. 1.3. Methods A 35 year old male complaint of pulsating tinnitus on his left ear, vertigo and progressive ipsilateral hearing loss for 4 years. Audiological examination and radiological assessment including Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Image were carried out. We diagnosed it as invasive glomus jugulare tumor with intracranial extension (type D2). 1.4. Conclusion Glomus tumors are uncommon slow growing and hypervascularized benign tumor that arise within the jugular foramen of temporal bone but often locally aggressive and produce permiative pattern of bone destruction.
