Figure 1: An 80-year-old female with the right glomus jugulare. (a) Gray scale longitudinal ultrasound of the right jugular vein demonstrates intraluminal filling defect and distended internal jugular vein (arrow). (b) gray scale ultrasound image of the right internal jugular vein in transverse plane (a) without and (b) with compression confirming that there is an intraluminal filling defect and vein cannot be compressed. (c) color flow Doppler image of the right internal jugular vein in longitudinal view. Demonstrates intraluminal filling defect. (d) spectral Doppler demonstrates low resistance arterial waveform suggestive of tumor vascularity, thus confirming this to be a malignant thrombus and not a deep venous bland thrombus. |

Figure 2: An 80-year-old female with the right glomus jugulare. (a) Axial contrast-enhanced computed tomography image at the level of cerebellopontine angle demonstrating lesion at the right cerebellopontine angle (arrow). (b) axial contrast-enhanced computed tomography image at the level of upper internal jugular vein demonstrates a contrast-enhancing lesion arising at the right jugular foramen and extending into the right internal jugular vein (arrow). This was surgically confirmed to be a glomus jugulare tumor. |
