Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Oncology
Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

A histologically benign temporal bone tumor progressed to a life-threatening neoplasm.
Previous surgical interventions and radiotherapy were ineffective in controlling tumor growth.

Observation:

The patient presented with a challenging temporal bone neoplasm unresponsive to conventional therapies.
Therapeutic goals included precise tumor histology assessment, complete tumor eradication, dural defect repair, and aesthetic reconstruction.

Findings:

A radical temporal bone resection was performed, extending from the foramen lacerum to the foramen magnum.
A contralateral scalp flap was utilized for effective reconstruction of the soft-tissue defect.
The patient experienced a satisfactory surgical recovery with notable improvements in ataxia and consciousness.

Implications:

This case highlights the successful management of an aggressive, previously treated benign temporal bone tumor.
The described surgical approach demonstrates a viable strategy for complex skull base neoplasms.
Effective reconstruction techniques are crucial for optimizing functional and aesthetic outcomes in extensive resections.
