Two cases of glomus jugulare tumours are presented, the histology illustrated and clinical features discussed. We make a plea for routine histological examination of aural polyps. It is our conviction that many glomus jugulare tumours go unrecognized owing to a failure to subject these polyps to microscopic examination. We draw attention to the use of retrograde jugulovenography.
