Glomus tumors of the temporal region and skull base can range in size from small microscopic lesions confined to the promontory to large destructive and neurologically aggressive agents of substantive incapacitation. Contemporary diagnostic and surgical technology has made definitive management of these historically dreaded management of these historically dreaded lesions confidently practical. Prompted by these advances, a new classification of glomus tumors is disclosed. The specific problem of the large chemodectoma at the skull base is addressed and a series of such cases reviewed. Surgical therapy is viewed as definitive, and the technique employed by the members of The Otology Group, PC, is described.
颞区和颅底的球瘤大小不一，小至局限于岬部的微小病变，大至具有破坏性且侵袭神经、可导致实质性功能丧失的病变。当代诊断和外科技术已使对这些历来令人恐惧的病变进行确定性治疗切实可行。受这些进展的推动，一种新的球瘤分类方法被公布。文中讨论了颅底大型化学感受器瘤的具体问题，并回顾了一系列此类病例。手术治疗被视为确定性治疗方法，并描述了PC耳科学组成员所采用的技术。
