Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Benign bone tumors can present with neurological symptoms.
  • Osteoblastomas are rare, benign bone-forming tumors.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old female presented with diplopia (double vision).
  • Imaging identified a mass in the petrous temporal bone infiltrating the cavernous sinus.

Findings:

  • Subtotal tumor excision was performed.
  • Pathology confirmed a benign osteoblastoma.
  • No tumor progression was observed during an 18-year follow-up.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the successful management of a rare benign tumor.
  • Long-term follow-up confirms the non-progressive nature of this specific osteoblastoma.
