We present a rare case of undifferentiated small-cell neoplasm involving the temporal bone petrous apex. The symptoms, physical examination, importance of roentgenographic findings, and pathologic findings are reviewed. While not absolutely conclusive, the collective evidence in this case supports a diagnosis of small-cell carcinoma of the lung with metastasis to the petrous apex. A discussion of temporal bone malignancies, their frequencies, and characteristics is included. To our knowledge, a review of the literature over the past 25 years reveals no other published cases of an undifferentiated small-cell carcinoma in the temporal bone.
我们报告一例罕见的累及颞骨岩尖的未分化小细胞肿瘤病例。对其症状、体格检查、影像学检查结果的重要性以及病理检查结果进行了回顾。虽然并非绝对确凿，但该病例的综合证据支持诊断为肺癌转移至岩尖的小细胞癌。文中还讨论了颞骨恶性肿瘤的发生率及特征。据我们所知，回顾过去25年的文献，未发现其他关于颞骨未分化小细胞癌的病例报道。
