BACKGROUND: Extramedullary plasmocytoma of the temporal bone is a rare neoplastic disorder. Only a very few cases are described in the world literature. CASE: We report on a patient who presented with the clinical signs of a glomus jugular tumor. Postoperative histological evaluation revealed an extramedullary plasmocytoma of the temporal bone. CONCLUSION: If a glomus tumor is suspected, histological investigation appears necessary if surgery is not possible or is contraindicated.
