Abstract
The cerebello-pontine angle may be involved by secondary extension of tumors that originate in neighbouring structures. Some of the tumors that extend into the cerebello-pontine angle have been discussed in earlier chapters. Other, usually malignant tumors with exophytic or infiltrative growth characteristics may also extend into the cerebello-pontine angle. It is beyond the scope of this book to describe all the possible tumors. However, recognition of tumor extension into the cerebello-pontine angle is important for operative planning.
