A 33-year-old woman presented a chronic headache and sore throat on the right side of her body, continuous pulsatile tinnitus with decreasing hearing in the right ear, and recurrent bleeding from the right ear. Computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scan depicted a mass in the external ear canal and an enlarged right jugular bulb, which was revealed on duplex ultrasound in the upper portion of the right internal jugular vein. Surgical dissection of the tumor was performed. Pathological study revealed the mass was glomus jugulare tumor.
