Abstract

The patient who is 45 year old man with main complaint pain and swelling in the left mandibular - mastoid region. In addition, he has hearing loss, fullness of ear, facial weakness into left side. We diagnosis giant cell tumor (GCT) of temporal bone by clinical symptoms, CT/MRI and biopsy. The GCT is benign tumor, but high recurrence rate after removing tumor. It is not typical signs and symptoms. We can do the diagnosis by pathology. The surgery is the most suitable option to cure giant cell tumor of temporal bone.
