Glomus tumors, also called paragangliomas, originate from nonchromaffin cells. The tumor is typically vascular and grows from capillary and pre-capillary vessels in-between epithelial cells. It is worth mentioning that the most common symptoms are pulsating tinnitus and hearing loss. Imaging studies (CT and MRI) are necessary for diagnosis. This paper shows five patients seen at the Hospital between 1995 and 2001 presenting glomus tympanicum. Women were most commonly affected, and the age ranged from 48 to 60 years (mean age of 50 years). The most common complaints were pulsating tinnitus and hearing loss. All patients were treated surgically.
球瘤，也称为副神经节瘤，起源于非嗜铬细胞。该肿瘤通常为血管性，由上皮细胞间的毛细血管和毛细血管前血管生长而来。值得一提的是，最常见的症状是搏动性耳鸣和听力丧失。影像学检查（CT和MRI）对于诊断是必要的。本文展示了1995年至2001年间在该医院就诊的5例鼓室球瘤患者。女性受影响最为常见，年龄范围为48至60岁（平均年龄50岁）。最常见的主诉是搏动性耳鸣和听力丧失。所有患者均接受了手术治疗。
