Chordomas and chondrosarcomas are rare, slow-growing, locally aggressive tumors with high recurrence rates. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an important management option for patients with recurrent or residual chordomas and chondrosarcomas. Glomus jugulare tumor are rare highly vascularized tumors that arise from the paraganglionic structures of the glossopharyngeal and vagal nerves. Because of their highly vascular nature and surgically formidable anatomic location, curative resection often proves challenging. SRS can be used as an up-front treatment or as an additional treatment for patients with recurrent or residual glomus jugulare tumor after surgical resection.
