Abstract:
We present an unusual case of a temporal bone and skull base tumor in a ten-year-old child. The patient presented with unilateral hearing loss and headaches. Radiologic, surgical, and histologic findings were consistent with an aneurysmal bone cyst. This is the first report on this rare entity to document its appearance in the temporal bone and skull base using magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment consisted of surgical removal, cranioplasty, and reconstruction of the external auditory canal.
