Temporal bone metastasis is now being reported with increasing frequency. To understand the process of temporal bone metastasis, complete histologic evaluation of the temporal bones is essential. In this study, 60 temporal bones from 33 patients were evaluated. Different patterns of temporal bone involvement were noted depending on the mode of spread to the temporal bone. Involvement of the temporal bone usually occurs late in the disease process and is often asymptomatic.
目前,颞骨转移的报道越来越频繁。为了解颞骨转移的过程,对颞骨进行完整的组织学评估至关重要。在本研究中,对33例患者的60块颞骨进行了评估。根据转移至颞骨的方式,观察到不同的颞骨受累模式。颞骨受累通常发生在疾病过程的晚期,且往往没有症状。
