Abstract
Giant cell tumor, (GCT) compromise 5% of skeletal tumor .GCTs involving the skull tend to arise in sphenoid at petrous part of temporal bone and account for less than 1%. Of their relative absence in cranium, temporal bone GCT is not surprising, as less than 25 case of Giant cell tumor of the temporal bone have been reported in world literature. It is a Benign Neoplasm but locally aggressive. Radical surgical removal is preferred modality of treatment. In this case report we had managed a similar case who presented with only pain and headache without any lateralizing deficits. MRI showed presence of large extra axial lesion in right medial temporal region which was confirmed as right temporal giant cell tumour and posted for surgical excision. Post surgery patient had good resolution of symptoms with no surgical complications. She is on regular follow up without any evidence of recurrence. We present this case in view of rarity of this tumour and good outcome following surgery.
