Jugular fossa masses comprise a range of various pathologies that arise in the complex group structures that comprise the jugular fossa in the skull base. The most common lesion seen involving the jugular fossa is a glomus jugulare paraganglioma.

However, jugular fossa masses are broadly classified based as extrinsic or intrinsic. Instrinsic masses arise from the the structures that traverse the fossa itself while extrinsic masses arises from surrounding tissues and extend into the fossa.
