Abstract
Background:
Extramedullary plasmocytoma of the temporal bone is a rare neoplastic disorder. Only a very few cases are described in the world literature.
Case:
We report on a patient who presented with the clinical signs of a glomus jugular tumor. Postoperative histological evaluation revealed an extramedullary plasmocytoma of the temporal bone.
Conclusion:
If a glomus tumor is suspected, histological investigation appears necessary if surgery is not possible or is contraindicated.
