ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To describe and analyse functional treatment of temporal bone chondroblastoma (TBCh).METHODS:
From January 2000 to June 2019, at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Hôpital Lariboisière, Paris, France, patients with TBCh were enrolled in this study. All cases routinely performed pre-operatory work-up including evaluation of performance status, audio-vestibular function test, ear endoscopy, contrasted CT scan and MRI of head and neck region; in one case we also performed an angio-CT scan. All patients underwent resection of the tumour with a "functional" approachRESULTS:
Three male patients (mean age 46,6 years)-two primary tumours and one recurrence-were treated. In all three cases the tumour invaded the middle ear with a variable degree of hearing loss and infiltration of temporal bone structures. All surgeries were performed with a microscopic approach associated with open/endoscopic approach when necessary. Inner ear and facial nerve were speared in all cases and the TMJ was partially resected in 2 cases due to its moderate involvement. At present, after a mean follow-up of 103 months (range 40-225 months), only one case presented recurrence which has been successfully treated with radiotherapy.CONCLUSIONS:
Our results of treatment suggest that functional surgery can be relevant in the management of TBCh since it is focused on both treatment of this pathology and maintenance of a good quality of life.Palavras-chave
