Glomus tympanicum is a highly vascular tumour
traditionally treated surgically via a post-auricular approach.
We present here the first published case in Malaysia where
total excision was achieved transcanal endoscopically. The
procedure was safe, quick and effective due to the better
visualisation of the surgical field with the endoscope.
Haemostasis was achieved with a modified suction catheter
that performed as a functioning suction diathermy.
