Eosinophilic granuloma is an uncommon condition that is characterized by unifocal or multifocal osteolytic lesions that often affect the skull. Unilateral lesions of the temporal bone are not uncommon, but bilateral temporal bone lesions are rare. In fact, to the best of our knowledge, fewer than 20 such cases have been reported during the past 40 years. We report a new case of bilateral temporal bone eosinophilic granuloma, and we review the disease process and its treatment.

Eosinophilic granuloma is a benign lytic lesion of bone, probably arising from an abnormal proliferation of histiocytes. It may occur within the temporal bone and be confused with more common disorders such as aural polyps or chronic suppurative otitis media. If untreated, the disease may destroy the bony labyrinth and spread to the middle and posterior cranial fossas. Temporal bone lesions may represent only one manifestation of a more extensive multifocal disorder (i.e., Hand-Schüller-Christian or Letterer-Siwe disease). From 1967 to 1982, 25 patients with eosinophilic granuloma of the skull were treated in the radiation therapy department of The Methodist Hospital in Houston. Six of these patients had disease involving the temporal bone. After analyzing these cases and reviewing the literature, we conclude that the management of the patient with eosinophilic granuloma in the temporal bone requires a diagnosis based on microscopic examination of the affected tissue, a definition of the extent of disease, therapy consisting of biopsy and low-dosage radiotherapy in the unifocal disease, and careful and continued follow-up.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a rare hematologic disease due to multiplication and accumulation of Langerhans cells, which are immature dendritic cells. The clinical presentation is highly variable and can range from isolated, self-healing skin or bone lesions to life-threatening multisystem disease. We report 2 cases confirmed by Histological and immunohistochemical evaluation of temporal bone biopsies. The first case is a 2-year-old child with chronic bilateral otorrhea and polyuria-polydipsia syndrome. Physical examination showed bilateral retroauricular redness and induration with filling all of the right and left external ear canal. Computed tomography showed osseous lysis of the temporal bone bilaterally. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed the presence of pituitary infiltration. The second case is 2-year-old girl with chronic left otorrhea. Clinical examination objectified the presence of redness and induration in the left mastoid with the presence of an inflammatory polyp filling the entire left external auditory canal. Computed tomography revealed a left temporal bone lysis. Both patients were treated with chemotherapy.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is a modification of routine computed tomography. It provides visual information of the minute structural details of the temporal bone. The present study aimed at studying the pathological processes of the temporal bone and their extent using HRCT.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This prospective study was done by taking HRCT of the temporal bone in 50 patients who presented to us with clinical features of temporal bone diseases. Both contrast and no enhanced images were obtained by taking 2mm sections using ultra high algorithm in both coronal and axial planes. The results were then analysed statistically.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Amongst the 50 cases, infection was the most common pathology affecting the temporal bone.  Neoplasms formed the second largest group of lesions with acoustic neuroma being the most common tumour.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> HRCT is a revolutionary imaging tool in evaluating the various pathologies affecting the temporal bone. It identifies the hidden areas of the temporal bone. It also lays down an anatomical roadmap for the surgeon preoperatively. </p>
