Giant cell tumor is a benign but locally aggressive bone neoplasm which uncommonly involves the skull. The petrous portion of the temporal bone forms a rare location for this tumor.
The authors report a case of a large giant cell tumor involving the petrous and squamous portions of the temporal bone in a 26 year old male patient. He presented with right side severe hearing loss and facial paresis. Radical excision of the tumor was achieved but facial palsy could not be avoided.
Radical excision of skull base giant cell tumor may be hazardous but if achieved is the optimal treatment and may be curative.
骨巨细胞瘤是一种良性但具有局部侵袭性的骨肿瘤，很少累及颅骨。颞骨岩部是该肿瘤罕见的发病部位。
作者报告一例26岁男性患者，患有累及颞骨岩部和鳞部的巨大骨巨细胞瘤。患者表现为右侧严重听力丧失和面部麻痹。肿瘤得以根治性切除，但面瘫无法避免。
颅底骨巨细胞瘤的根治性切除可能具有危险性，但如果成功实施则是最佳治疗方法，且可能治愈。
