“…Enhancement within the lesion may be homogeneous or may occur only in the periphery. 17 As seen in the present case, the CT appearance of destructive lesions of the temporal bone may resolve with treatment (Figures 2a and 3b). On MR imaging, similar enhancement may be seen, and additional information may be gained about marrow and CLINICAL RECORD soft tissue involvement.…”

Endolymphatic sac tumor is an uncommon, locally aggressive tumor. The tumor is located in the medial and posterior petrosal bone region and may involve the dura. A hypervascular tumor involving the endolymphatic sac with destructive changes, it involves the bone and may show reactive new bone formation. Diagnosis is based on clinical, radiological, and pathological correlation. We present a case of endolymphatic sac tumor in a 24-year-old female who presented with a chief complaint of hearing loss.

A 57-year-old patient with Langerhans' cell granulomatosis (LCG) is presented. During 22 years of treatment, there were five relapsing infiltrations at different sites of the skull bones, which were treated by surgery, local radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. During the last relapse, the right temporal bone was infiltrated by granuloma and the petrous bone was destroyed with an intimate spread to the internal carotid artery. After two palliative surgical resections and ineffective radiotherapy, 12 cycles of chemotherapy (vinblastine plus prednisolone) were applied and a clinical remission of the disease was achieved. Special attention is paid to the complexity of diagnosis and choice of therapy. It is concluded that the behavior of LCG may change with time, and assume an aggressive form of the disease. Chemotherapy is the treatment of choice for this type of multifocal malignant form of LCG. Prognosis of the disease is unpredictable.
