Temporal bone squamous cell carcinoma (TBSCC) is a very rare condition. The prognosis is dismal for advanced tumors. Due to its rarity, information in the literature is scarce. Here, we report a unique case of TBSCC with cerebellar invasion and hydrocephalus.
A 46-year-old reported right-sided hearing loss and a painful right retroauricular mass for 4 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 8.7 × 7.6 × 6.4 cm mass invading the right temporal and occipital bones. After a biopsy and 3 surgical procedures over 6 months, the diagnosis of TBSCC was obtained. Due to invasion of the cerebellar tissue and obstructive hydrocephalus, a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was performed. The patient was referred for adjuvant radiotherapy. However, palliative care was initiated due to tumor progression.
We report a case of advanced TBSCC with poor prognosis despite surgical treatment and radiotherapy. More data are necessary to provide new and better treatment to these patients.
颞骨鳞状细胞癌(TBSCC)是一种非常罕见的疾病。晚期肿瘤的预后很差。由于其罕见性,文献中的信息很少。在此,我们报告一例独特的伴有小脑侵犯和脑积水的TBSCC病例。
一名46岁患者报告右侧听力丧失和右侧耳后疼痛性肿块4个月。磁共振成像显示一个8.7×7.6×6.4 cm的肿块侵犯右侧颞骨和枕骨。经过活检和6个月内的3次手术,确诊为TBSCC。由于小脑组织受侵犯和梗阻性脑积水,进行了脑室腹腔分流术。患者被转诊接受辅助放疗。然而,由于肿瘤进展,开始了姑息治疗。
我们报告一例晚期TBSCC病例,尽管进行了手术治疗和放疗,预后仍很差。需要更多数据为这些患者提供新的更好的治疗方法。
