Tympanic Glomus Tumor
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A glomus tympanicum tumor is a rare and generally noncancerous growth that develops in the middle ear, arising from small structures located near the eardrum. It usually grows slowly over time.
Common symptoms: ringing in the ear that follows the rhythm of the pulse, decreased hearing, a feeling of pressure in the ear, and, at times, dizziness.
When is it worth checking? When a persistent pulsatile ringing or changes in hearing in a single ear are noticed, a detailed workup is worthwhile.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the one who evaluates ear symptoms, and the neurosurgeon can take part depending on the location and extent of the tumor. With a ringing that beats in time with the heart, it is advisable to seek evaluation with these specialists.
