title: [Radical surgery for removing a malignant tumor of the temporal bone with extra- and intracranial involvement].
abstract: The paper presents a clinical case of combined therapy for adenocystic carcinoma of the petrous pyramid. The basic stages of treatment were preoperative radiation, tumor block resection, and postoperative radiation therapy. Based on the discussion of data available in the literature and on the case presented, practical guidelines for treatment policy are given. Such basic guidelines are as follows:--a lingering drug-unresponsible inflammatory process may be a manifestation of cancer diseases;--if there are clinical and diagnostic signs of neoformation, biopsy of a tumor (tissue under suspicion) is the basic premedical measure;--treatment policy combines different methods of multimodality treatment, but if there is an epithelial tumor, treatment should be started with radio- and/or chemotherapy.
