title: Non-Hodgkins lymphoma of the temporal bone.
abstract: The temporal bone may be involved by primary or secondary neoplasms. The latter are uncommon but well documented in the literature, the usual primary sites being breast, kidney, lung, stomach, larynx and prostate (Schuknecht et al., 1968). Lymphoma rarely invades the temporal bone and is usually confined to the lymphoreticular system and gastrointestinal tract. A case of non-Hodgkins lymphoma of the temporal bone is presented.
