Sažetak

Glomus tumors generally are benign neuroendocrine tumors originating from extra-adrenal paraganglia of the autonomic nervous system. Although very rare, the problems associated with timely diagnosis and treatment of glomus tumors make them rather intriguing and demanding. A case is presented of a 24-yearold man with glomus tumor of the lingual base. The tumor was verified by radiological methods
(computerized tomography and angiography) and treated exclusively by surgical approach. To our knowledge, a single case of oropharyngeal paraganglioma has been reported in literature.
