description INTRODUCTION: Glomus tympanicum is an extremely rare benign paraganglioma of the middle ear. The distinctive features of these tumors include their propensity for recurrence following treatment and their remarkably vascular nature, posing significant challenges to surgeons and necessitating the development of effective surgical techniques. CASE PRESENTATION: A 56-year-old female presented with pulsatile tinnitus persisting for a year. Examination revealed a pulsating red mass in the lower section of the tympanic membrane. Computed tomography confirmed the presence of a mass occupying the middle ear, which was diagnosed as a glomus tympanicum tumor. The patient underwent surgical excision of the tumor, followed by diode laser application for coagulation at the site of the tumor. Histopathological examination confirmed the clinical diagnosis. DISCUSSION: Glomus tympanicum tumors are rare neoplasms that arise in the middle ear. The surgical management of these tumors varies depending on the size and extent of the lesion. Various techniques are available for excision, including bipolar cautery and laser. Laser has emerged as an effective method for reducing tumor mass and controlling intraoperative bleeding, with positive indications after surgery. CONCLUSION: Based on our case report, laser can be considered an effective and safe method for excision of glomus tympanicum, with positive indications for controlling intraoperative bleeding and reducing tumor mass.
