This paper reports on a 55-year-old female who had undergone middle ear surgery 12 years previously and was admitted with a 6-months history of unilateral hearing loss and facial weakness. MRI and CT demonstrated a space-occupying lesion arising from the temporal bone and extending into the posterior fossa. Treatment consisted in complete tumour removal. Temporal and mastoid bone destruction associated with typical histological features led to the diagnosis of neoplasm of endolymphatic sac origin. Clinical, histological, radiological and intra-operative features of these rare tumours are described and discussed. The pertinent literature is reviewed.
本文报道了一名55岁女性，她在12年前接受了中耳手术，此次因单侧听力丧失和面部无力6个月的病史入院。MRI和CT显示颞骨出现占位性病变并延伸至后颅窝。治疗方法为完整切除肿瘤。颞骨和乳突骨破坏伴有典型组织学特征，从而诊断为内淋巴囊起源的肿瘤。本文描述并讨论了这些罕见肿瘤的临床、组织学、放射学和术中特征，并对相关文献进行了综述。
