Introduction: The glomus tumor is a cellular vascular neoplasia that grows slow and benign. It can compromise the internal carotid artery, the bulb of the jugular vein, and the vague nerve. The most common symptoms are loss of hearing and pulsatile buzzing, generally one sided. Image examination confirms the diagnosis and biopsy is unnecessary and contraindicated. Computed tomography with contrast or magnetic resonance imaging confirms the diagnosis observing the tumor and bone changes. A surgery is the only perspective of cure. Radiotherapy can be suitable for patients with no surgical condition.
