Primary fallopian canal glomus tumor has been reported only once previously, although the occurrence of glomus body tissue in the fallopian canal was documented many years ago. Facial paresis as a presenting symptom of glomus tumors is well known, as is facial nerve invasion by glomus tumors. However, a primary fallopian canal glomus tumor that extends extratemporally to the pes anserinus is unusual. Although facial nerve grafting may be necessary for removal of some glomus jugulare tumors, the need for facial nerve grafting appears to be uniform in the patients with primary fallopian canal glomus tumors. The primary fallopian canal glomus tumors that we report did not involve the jugular fossa or the Jacobson's branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve. Both tumors did extend to the middle ear and mastoid and followed the facial nerve extratemporally. The latter features appear to typify primary fallopian canal glomus tumors.
