Primary myxomas of the temporal bone are rare tumors. If misdiagnosed, they can grow into locally aggressive expansile masses resulting in hearing loss, facial paralysis, dural invasion, and mass effect on the adjacent brain parenchyma. This case demonstrates the natural history of an extraordinarily rare tumor over a longer period not previously described. The importance of correlating histopathologic findings with diagnostic imaging features to enable an accurate diagnosis is also emphasized.
颞骨原发性黏液瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤。如果误诊，它们可能会生长为局部侵袭性扩张性肿块，导致听力损失、面瘫、硬脑膜侵犯以及对邻近脑实质的肿块效应。本例展示了一种极其罕见的肿瘤在较长时间内的自然病史，此前尚未有报道。强调了将组织病理学发现与诊断影像学特征相关联以做出准确诊断的重要性。
