title: Neurotologic surgery for glomus tumors.
abstract: This article reviews the important aspects of glomus tumor management. The biology and histology of these tumors are unique and have an impact on treatment strategies. Nonsurgical options, such as radiation therapy, are discussed. Surgical resection can be performed safely only after appropriate diagnostic testing is completed. Imaging and other diagnostic testing are explored. The various resection and reconstructive strategies are discussed.
