ABSTRACT
Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant bone tumor that is rarely found in the facial and cranial bones. It may be found in the mandible and maxilla but is very rare in the temporal bone. Surgery with adequate margins seems to be the procedure of choice and postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy is recommended as well as a long term follow up. The authors experienced a case of osteosarcoma of the temporal bone in a 39 years-old male. The patient underwent a tumor removal with open craniotomy and simple mastoidectomy; then, the mastoid was obliterated by temporalis muscle rotation flap. After operation, the patient received chemotherapy. The patient has been free of local recurrence or metastasis for 2 postoperative years.
