Angiocentric T‐Cell Lymphoma of the Temporal Bone

Abstract

Although there have been several reports of lymphoma with metastasis to the temporal bone,1–3 primary lymphoma of the temporal bone is extremely rare. There are only 2 cases reported,4 both presenting with facial paralysis and otitis media due to B-cell neoplasms. We present the first case of a histologically proven angiocentric T-cell lymphoma with distinct clinical features.

Primary Presentation of Pediatric Hematopoietic Malignancy in the Temporal Bone: Case Report and Review of the Literature

“…When the 24 literature cases were combined with our case, 4 classifications of lymphoid neoplasms associated with the temporal bone were noted, including 7 cases of B cell lymphoma, [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] 4 T cell lymphomas, [13][14][15][16] 4 BLs, [17][18][19] and 10 leukemias. [20][21][22][23][24][25] 17 of 25 patients were male.…”
