Abstract

Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone is an uncommon primary neoplasm that rarely occurs in the skull. The sphenoid and temporal bones are common sites in the skull for these tumors. GCTs of the temporal bone usually grow with medial extension and induce reactive bone changes. In this article, we describe a case of GCT presenting as a bulging preauricular mass with aggressive bone destruction.
