Abstract

Glomus tumors are neoplasms that occur only rarely in the head and neck. These tumors are usually distinguished by benign growth characteristics. We present a case of a large intranasal glomus tumor which, at presentation, had eroded through the ethmoid roof to involve the floor of the anterior cranial fossa. The patient was treated with primary external-beam radiotherapy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an invasive glomus tumor of the head and neck.
