Soft tissue tumors and treatment

Abstract Small chemodectomas in the middle ear cavity can be recognised by otoscopy, but only radiology will show i f the jugular bulb is involved. This assessment can be difficult, but largely governs the surgical approach. Magnetic resonance is a valuable adjunct to CT, providing some tissue characterisation. The relative value of various imaging techniques is discussed.
