Abstract

Temporal bone sarcomas represent a heterogeneous group of rare malignancies. Optimal treatment of temporal bone sarcoma is challenging and necessitates a multidisciplinary approach with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. This chapter discusses the etiology, diagnosis, evaluation, staging, treatment, and prognosis of temporal bone sarcomas. It also introduces the most common types of temporal bone sarcoma.
