Serendipitous Detection of Cervical Nodal Metastasis in Glomus Jugulare
We present the case of a 50-year-old man who presented to us with a history of having received radiation therapy for a glomus jugulare tumor. He had been on regular follow-up with serial imaging scans. The MRI done after 4 years of treatment revealed an interval increase in size. Carotid angiogram r...

| description | We present the case of a 50-year-old man who presented to us with a history of having received radiation therapy for a glomus jugulare tumor. He had been on regular follow-up with serial imaging scans. The MRI done after 4 years of treatment revealed an interval increase in size. Carotid angiogram revealed, in addition to the glomus, multiple lymph nodes of similar pattern of vascularity, well lateral to the carotid sheath, in the ipsilateral neck. He underwent resection of the tumor and a neck dissection. Histopathology confirmed metastatic glomus jugulare in the cervical lymph nodes. He received adjuvant radiotherapy and is doing well. |
