Glomangioma is a painful, blue-red tumor that appears as a solitary encapsulated nodular mass, almost always on the skin. The first case of nasal glomangioma was reported in 1965. Since then, only 31 other cases have been reported in the literature. We present a new case of glomangioma of the nasal septum in a 61-year-old woman. The tumor was removed via an intranasal endoscopic excision. No recurrence was found at 3 years of follow-up. Our challenge was to distinguish the glomangioma from a true hemangiopericytoma and a paraganglioma.

Article Synopsis
- * An 80-year-old Caucasian man experienced upper airway obstruction and significant bleeding due to a large tracheal glomus tumor, which was diagnosed as glomangioma.
- * GTs comprise about 1.6% of soft tissue tumors, with tracheal cases posing the greatest risk of malignancy and potential airway obstruction; diagnosis is confirmed through histological analysis, and surgical resection is the main treatment.

Article Synopsis
- The case report discusses a rare tracheal glomus tumor that arises from glomus bodies and can lead to breathing difficulties due to airway obstruction.
- The standard treatment is surgical resection, as these tumors create nodular masses in the trachea that may narrow the airway.
- In this specific case, the patient had a low tracheostomy and underwent an endoscopic-assisted procedure for tumor resection using plasma-assisted radiofrequency.

Introduction: Tympanojugular paragangliomas (TJ PGLs) are rare tumors characterized by bone infiltration and erosion and a close relationship with critical structures, such as cranial nerves and internal carotid artery. For these reasons, their management represents a tough challenge. Since the fifties, radio-therapy (RT) has been proposed as an alternative treatment aimed at avoiding tumor progression.
