Giant Temporal Bone Angiosarcoma: Case Report and Literature Review
Angiossarcoma do osso temporal: Relato de caso e revisão da literatura
Abstract
The authors describe a very rare case of an angiosarcoma originating from the petrous portion of the temporal bone that evolved as an indolent lesion until it became a giant retroauricular mass. A biopsy demonstrated that it was an angiosarcoma. A presurgical embolization from the left occipital and left parietal branches of the left middle meningeal artery was performed, followed by a total resection of the tumor. The patient developed a transient dysphasia during early follow-up, from which, subsequently, she fully recovered. There were no signs of recurrence in the current 3 years of follow-up. Free margins can be achieved even in some giant tumors and remain the most important prognostic factor for soft tissue malignant tumors with intracranial infiltration.
Resumo
Os autores descrevem um raro caso de angiossarcoma proveniente da porção petrosa do osso temporal, que evoluiu como uma tumoração indolente até tornar-se uma volumosa lesāo retroauricular. Foi realizada uma biópsia incisional, cujo diagnóstico foi de angiossarcoma. Foi realizada embolização pré-operatória da lesāo pela artéria occipital esquerda e pelo ramo parietal da artéria cerebral média esquerda, seguida de ressecção do tumor. No pós-operatório imediato, a paciente evoluiu com disfasia transitória, recuperando-se completamente durante o seguimento. Nāo houve sinais de recidiva nos três anos de seguimento pós-operatório. A ressecção com margens livres de tumores de grande volume segue sendo o fator prognóstico mais importante para tumores malignos de partes moles com infiltração intracraniana.
