Abstract:
Paragangliomas (glomus tumors) arise from the extra-adrenal neuroendocrine system. They are benign but locally aggressive tumors, causing bone destruction and compression related symptoms. We present a case of paraganglioma of the cerebellopontine angle. Emphasis on possible difficulties in clinical, imaging or pathological identification, and surgical removal is done. To the best of our knowledge, only one more case was reported arising in the cerebellopontine angle.
