Physical examination showed a polypoid mass arising from the right middle ear and extending into the external auditory canal. Serohemorrhagic otorrhea was also observed. Serious hemorrhage occurred while taking a biopsy. The histopathologic diagnosis was a glomangioma. MRI demonstrated a hypervascular mass (10x15 mm(2)) completely filling the right middle ear. Preoperative embolization of the ascending pharyngeal artery was carried out. The tumor was completely resected via a transmastoid approach. No complications were observed postoperatively. At the most recent follow-up examination, 72 months after the operation, no sign of disease was present. The modified radical mastoidectomy approach used in this case proved to be a safe and efficacious method for removing the glomangioma.en10.1080/00016480410018142info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessglomangiomahead and neckmiddle eartreatmentArticle124786786915370574Q2WOS:000223997900019Q2
