Metastatic Seminoma of the Temporal Bone

Abstract

\s=b\ Temporal bone metastasis of classic testicular seminoma is extremely rare in the English literature. Except for a clinical case report of seminoma in the temporal bone, to our knowledge there is no temporal bone pathology report of secondary seminoma. In the left temporal bone of the present case, tumor cell infiltration was found in the external auditory canal, tympanic membrane, middle ear cavity, tympanic and mastoid mucosa, tensor tympani muscle, and so on. (Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 1986;112:102-105) Metastatic tumors of the temporal bone are rare. A comprehensive literature survey by Hill and Kohut1 in 1976 revealed 103 cases of metastat¬ ic temporal bone malignancies. We report herein a rare case of temporal bone metastasis of the classical semi¬ noma of testis. In our English litera¬ ture review, there was no temporal bone report on

Metastasis to the External Auditory Canal: A Systematic Review

“…The most common pathologic diagnosis for metastasis to the EAC was adenocarcinoma (11–24) (14 of 37, 37.8%) followed by acute myelogenous leukemia (7) (3 of 37, 8.1%), renal cell carcinoma (6,25,26) (3 of 37, 8.1%), hepatocellular carcinoma (27,28) (2 of 37, 5.4%), seminoma (29,30) (2 of 37, 5.4%), and small cell carcinoma (31,32) (2 of 37, 5.4%). Other reported pathologies with metastasis to the EAC included leiomyosarcoma (33), squamous cell carcinoma (34), eccrine porocarcinoma (35), mucosal melanoma (36), anaplastic carcinoma (37), ganglioneuroma (38), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (7), nasopharyngeal carcinoma (39), and serous carcinoma.…”

Metastatic Disease of the Temporal Bone: A Contemporary Review

“…Of those, 2,308 were excluded from review, and the remaining 576 full‐text articles were scrutinized for eligibility. After excluding 467 articles, a total of 109 articles published from 1948 to 2019 remained in the final analysis 4–6,9–11,14–116 . This provided a total of 255 individual cases for data extraction.…”

Metastatic carcinoma of the temporal bone presenting as glomus jugulare and glomus tympanicum tumours: a description of two cases

“…The most common primary tumours leading to secondary temporal bone deposits are breast, lung, kidney and prostate (Nelson and Hinojosa, 1991). There are only four reported cases of metastases from adenocarcinoma of the colon (Schuknecht et al, 1968;Kobayashi et al, 1986;Ruah et al, 1987), and this represents the fifth such case.…”
