Lint: glomus-tympanicum

Colons
warning

"There is a female predominance (M: F = 1:3); presentation is most common when patients are more than 40 years old 1,2."

Line 5:37 · The first word after a colon should almost always be lowercase. In this case, it's not: ': F'.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"The term "glomus" was historically used to describe certain types of neuroendocrine tumours arising from paraganglia. The term is, however, imprecise and can be confused with the glomus bodies and tumours that arise from them. It can also be mixed up with glomus tumours of the subcutaneous skin, also referred to as glomangioma."

Line 3:135 · Use the Oxford comma in 'however, imprecise and can'.
There Is
suggestion

"There is a female predominance (M: F = 1:3); presentation is most common when patients are more than 40 years old 1,2."

Line 5:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.
