Glomus tympanicum tumors, common benign middle ear growths, often present with hearing loss and tinnitus. Chronic otitis media can mask these tumors, delaying diagnosis and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Glomus tympanicum tumors are the most common benign neoplasms in the middle ear.
  • Initial symptoms typically include hearing loss and tinnitus.
  • Facial nerve involvement may indicate deeper structure invasion.

Observation:

  • Three cases of glomus tympanicum tumors in women aged 60-68 are presented.
  • Diagnosis was aided by computer tomography for tumor localization and relation to surrounding structures.
  • One case experienced tumor recurrence two years post-surgery, requiring reoperation.

Findings:

  • Chronic pyogenic otitis media can mask glomus tympanicum tumors, leading to delayed diagnosis, as seen in one of the three presented cases.
  • All patients presented with typical symptoms and tympanic membrane changes, yet diagnosis was delayed for years in some instances.

  • Neoplastic disease should be suspected in patients over fifty experiencing new-onset chronic pyogenic otitis media.

    • Implications:

    • Early detection of glomus tympanicum tumors is crucial for timely intervention and management.
    • Computer tomography is valuable for surgical planning and assessing tumor extent.
    • Suspicion of neoplastic disease is warranted in older patients with new-onset chronic otitis media.
