title: [The biological behavior of jugular glomus tumor and the perioperative management].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Based on our experiences, the biological behavior and perioperative management of the jugular glomus tumor are introduced and discussed in order to prevent the possible mortality and morbidity.
  
  
  METHODS
  Five cases of jugular glomus tumor treated in our institute were reviewed. Laboratory examination, modern imaging techniques such as CT, MRI, 131I-MIBG, DSA, as well as embolization of the blood vessels and/or antihypertensive drugs were selectively used in the preoperative period.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Surgical removal of the tumors was successful in this group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Perioperative management plays an important role in the prevention of surgical complications.
