Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare benign bone tumour of cartilaginous origin, which usually affects the metaphysis of the long bone. Involvement of the temporal bone is extremely rare. Patients with CMF in the temporal bone can present some neurological deficits due to involvement of surrounding neural structures.
We present the first case of histopathologically proven CMF originating in the temporal bone and involving the hypoglossal canal in a 40-year-old woman. Hypoglossal nerve paralysis was identified on the cranial nerve examination. The patient underwent surgical excision and was neurologically normal except for mild left facial palsy on 5-mo follow-up examination after surgery. In the current report, the major characteristics and computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging features of the lesion are discussed. Furthermore, previous literature regarding this pathology is reviewed.
The current study presents the first case of temporal bone CMF involving the hypoglossal canal.
软骨黏液样纤维瘤(CMF)是一种罕见的起源于软骨的良性骨肿瘤,通常累及长骨的干骺端。颞骨受累极为罕见。颞骨CMF患者由于周围神经结构受累可出现一些神经功能缺损。
我们报告了首例经组织病理学证实起源于颞骨并累及舌下神经管的CMF病例,患者为一名40岁女性。在颅神经检查中发现舌下神经麻痹。患者接受了手术切除,术后5个月的随访检查显示,除轻度左侧面神经麻痹外,神经功能正常。在本报告中,讨论了病变的主要特征以及计算机断层扫描/磁共振成像特征。此外,还回顾了以往关于该病理学的文献。
本研究报告了首例累及舌下神经管的颞骨CMF病例。
