Abstract

We report a case of hyper vascular metastatic thyroid carcinoma of the jugular fora-men simulating a glomus jugulare tumor. Computed tomography(CT) revealed areas of irregular lytic bony destruction of the left jugular foramen, as well as characteristic in vasion routes of a glomus jugulare tumor. Magnetic resonance(MR) imaging and angiography demonstrated a hypervascular mass similar to a glomus tumor.
