Haemangiosarcoma of the petrous temporal bone.
An unusual case of haemangiosarcoma of the right petrous temporal bone in a nine-year-old male is presented. A conservative surgical approach and a radical course of mega-voltage radiotherapy were employed in the management of the case. At the time of writing, there is no evidence of any recurrence of the tumour.
