 The result of the post mortem examination of the glomus jugulare tumor is reported.

 A housewife, aged 48, complained of tinnitus of the left ear of 12 year standing, impairement of hearin of and aural discharge of the same ear. Previously, a diagnosis of otitis media was made and the left ear was operated upon. There was no improvement of the symptoms. Following this operation the ear became affected with granulation formation which required repeated scrapings.

 Since 2 years ago the patient developed occassional attacks of severe headaches with nausea. And since 1 month ago the vision of the right eye began to fail.

 The examination showed a faintly pinkish colored tumor in the external canal of the left ear. Microscopic examination showed the tumor to be a glomus jugulare.

 The head operation was performed only to find the tumor to be spreading into the base of the skull which precluded a complete removal. Seven days after this operation the patient died.

 The post mortem examination showed the tumor to be spreading into the occipital and middle cranial fossae, as well as, the middle ear cavity and parietal bone including the mastoid cavity. However, there was no evidence that the brain tissue having been invaded by metastatic growths.
