[High-resolution and dynamic computed tomography in the diagnosis of glomus tympanicum and glomus jugulare tumors].

In order to differentiate residual or recurrent tumour from scar tissue, high resolution computer tomography was combined with dynamic scanning. In 19 patients examined, glomus tumours were found in eight and lymph node metastases in one. This non-invasive method, which can be used on an outpatient basis, is essential for follow-up and is useful as an addition in primary tumour staging.
