Surgical Management of Giant Cell Tumors in Temporomandibular Joint Region Involving Lateral Skull Base: A Multidisciplinary Approach.
Giant cell tumors (GCTs) in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) region invading the lateral skull base are relatively uncommon. The management of these lesions is still controversial because of their proximity to vital neurovascular structures. Although sporadically reported, the clinical outcomes of such disease after surgery are still largely unknown. ⋯ Craniomaxillofacial surgery for GCTs in the TMJ region invading the skull base is feasible in selected patients. A meticulous plan via a multidisciplinary approach is mandatory for the success of such treatment.
