Abstract

The pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) is a challenging space and pathological processes in this anatomical space are uncommon. This report presents a case of glomus tumor right PPF in a 65 years old female patient who underwent tumor removal by endoscopic transnasal-transmaxillary approach with preoperative selective embolization of the right internal maxillary artery.
