Angiosarcoma of the temporal bone is a rare vascular tumor. This case highlights diagnostic challenges and aggressive tumor progression despite treatment, emphasizing the need for awareness.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Angiosarcoma is a rare vascular endothelial malignancy.
  • Temporal bone and lateral skull base locations are exceptionally uncommon.
  • Early diagnosis is often delayed due to non-specific symptoms.

Observation:

  • A 57-year-old woman presented with hearing loss, otorrhea, and facial palsy.
  • Initial diagnosis elsewhere was mastoiditis.
  • Histological examination post-mastoidectomy confirmed angiosarcoma.

Findings:

  • The angiosarcoma was incompletely excised, necessitating lateral petrosectomy and radiotherapy.
  • The patient experienced local recurrence with intracerebral extension.
  • Palliative chemotherapy was initiated, but the patient developed pneumonia and deceased.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the diagnostic difficulty of temporal bone angiosarcoma.
  • It highlights the aggressive nature and poor prognosis of these tumors.
  • Reviewing morphology, imaging, and treatment options is crucial for managing lateral skull base angiosarcomas.
