Abstract

Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the temporal bone is an uncommon entity accounting for fewer than 0.2% of all tumors of the head and neck and is associated with a poor outcome. Temporal bone carcinoma includes cancers arising from pinna that spreads to the temporal bone , primary tumors of the external auditory canal (EAC), middle ear, mastoid, petrous apex and metastatic lesions to the temporal bone. Malignancies of the temporal bone arise most commonly from the pinna as it undergoes many years of sun exposure.
