Giant cell tumor of the infratemporal fossa: report of case.
A rare case of giant cell tumor occupying the infratemporal fossa is reported. The site of origin was obscure, although the tumor had obviously eroded a portion of the zygomatic arch and involved the outer cortex of the temporal bone. Aggressive surgical ablation is suggested as the primary treatment of choice for giant cell tumors in any location. Long-term follow-up evaluation is also necessary.
