Chondroblastoma of the temporal bone is rare. This report details two cases, one treated with mastoidectomy and another with infratemporal fossa approach and radiotherapy, highlighting surgical management strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Oncology
  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Chondroblastoma is a rare primary bone tumor, accounting for ~1% of all bone neoplasms.
  • Temporal bone chondroblastoma is exceptionally rare, with only 34 prior reported cases.
  • This study presents two novel cases of chondroblastoma in the temporal bone.

Observation:

  • Case 1: A small chondroblastoma in the attic and root of the zygoma, treated with mastoidectomy.
  • Case 2: An advanced chondroblastoma involving the infratemporal fossa and parapharyngeal space, treated via infratemporal fossa approach.
  • Surgical reconstruction and radiotherapy were employed based on tumor extent and margins.

Findings:

  • Mastoidectomy successfully reconstructed the bony defect in Case 1, preserving ear canal anatomy and hearing.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Surgical resection via the infratemporal fossa approach was performed for the advanced tumor in Case 2.
  • Adjuvant radiotherapy was administered in Case 2 due to non-clear surgical margins to prevent recurrence.

    • Implications:

    • These cases expand the understanding of chondroblastoma presentation and management in the temporal bone.
    • Surgical techniques like mastoidectomy and infratemporal fossa approach are effective for temporal bone chondroblastoma.
    • Multimodal treatment, including radiotherapy, may be necessary for advanced or incompletely resected tumors.
