SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA OF TEMPORAL BONE: A RARE ENTITY

Dr. Mamta Verma, Dr. Tarun Kumar Chauhan

Abstract :

Incidence of sqamaous cell carcinoma( SCC) of temporal bone is very less accounting as less than 6 cases per million per year which is 0.3% of all head and neck tumors. Five year disease specific survival is only 19% to 48% due to delayed diagnosis[1-3]. In this study we are reporting two cases of temporal bone carcinoma. Both cases were initially misdiagnosed as chronic otitis media with extensive cholesteatoma which later on found to be the SCC temporal bone. Both cases then underwent surgical resection with adequate margins to eliminate the disease.
