title: [Temporal bone metastasis of adenocarcinoma of the breast: personal observations and a review of the literature].
abstract: A single case of temporal bone metastases from breast carcinoma is reported and its clinical features and main instrumental diagnostic characteristics are described. Although this is quite rare the possibility cannot be neglected when making diagnosis should the clinical features and test results suggest such an expansive process of the temporal bone. In fact, although extremely limited, treatment is strictly linked to proper and early diagnosis.
