| Popis: | imaging showed dehiscence of the promontory. Initial biopsy failed to diagnosis the disease, as in many other cases we reviewed. The mass was extensive and eroded several cortical bony structures. The patient underwent radical mastoidectomy and final pathology exam confirmed the diagnosis. We review the key radiological and histological results that should be considered for making a diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour, and discuss the possible differential diagnosis. We also present a review of previously reported cases to help better understand the clinical entity of this disease. |
