Reported cases of metastases to the placenta are uncommon, and maternal transmission of tumor to the fetus is even more infrequent. However, vertical transmission of tumor can occur and should be considered as a potential etiology of malignancy in newborns and infants born to mothers with a history of cancer during gestation. Here, we present the imaging findings and clinical course of an unusual case of maternal cervical neuroendocrine carcinoma presenting as bilateral petrous temporal bone lesions in an infant.
胎盘转移的报道病例并不常见，肿瘤由母亲垂直传播给胎儿的情况则更为罕见。然而，肿瘤的垂直传播是有可能发生的，对于孕期有癌症病史的母亲所生的新生儿和婴儿，应将其视为恶性肿瘤的潜在病因。在此，我们报告一例罕见病例，母亲为宫颈神经内分泌癌，婴儿表现为双侧岩颞骨病变，介绍其影像学表现及临床过程。
