Popis:	Paragangliomas are uncommon tumours arising from chemoreceptor organs. Those arising in relation to the vagus nerve are referred to as Glomus intravagale or vagal body tumours. They are rare tumours accounting for only 3% of Head & Neck paragangliomas. A case of Glomus intravagale tumour is presented both in view of its rarity and to stress its differentiation from a carotid body tumour which in this case was possible only at the time of surgery.
