Giant Temporal Bone Angiosarcoma: Case Report and Literature Review

Blog Article

Abstract The authors describe a very rare case of an angiosarcoma originating from the petrous portion of the temporal bone that evolved as an indolent lesion until it became a giant retroauricular mass.A biopsy demonstrated that it was an angiosarcoma.A presurgical embolization from the left Bundle occipital and left parietal branches of the left middle meningeal artery was performed, followed by a total Tinctures resection of the tumor.The patient developed a transient dysphasia during early follow-up, from which, subsequently, she fully recovered.

There were no signs of recurrence in the current 3 years of follow-up.Free margins can be achieved even in some giant tumors and remain the most important prognostic factor for soft tissue malignant tumors with intracranial infiltration.
