Imaging of Temporal Bone Mass Lesions : A Pictorial Review

Tumoral lesions of the temporal bone include benign or malignant tumors and congenital or inflammatory lesions. Temporal bone lesions are difficult to approach. Therefore, making a preoperative diagnosis and considering whether the lesions require treatment are necessary; if they require treatment, then the type of treatment requires consideration. These tumors cannot be observed directly and must be diagnosed based on symptoms and imaging findings. However, the differentiation of temporal bone lesions is difficult because they are rare and large in variety. In this pictorial review, we divided temporal bone lesions by location such as along the facial nerve, along the internal jugular vein, around the endolymphatic sac, in the internal auditory canal/cerebellopontine angle, petrous apex, middle ear, and mastoid, focusing on the imaging findings of temporal bone lesions. Then, we created a diagnostic flowchart that suggested that the systematic separation of imaging findings is useful for differentiation. Although it is necessary to make comprehensive judgments based on the clinical symptoms, patient background, and imaging findings to diagnose temporal bone mass lesions, capturing imaging features can be a useful differentiation method.
