| Summary: | SUMMARY
Temporal bone squamous cell carcinoma (TBSCC) is a rare
head and neck malignancy with the incidence 0.8 –1.0 cases
in 1 million population. We are reporting a case series on
the TBSCC cases that were operated on at Sarawak General
Hospital, Malaysia. Ten patients were identified and
collected with the presentation and type of surgery
performed. It has been challenging for us to manage with
recorded 2 years surviving in 6 out of 10 patients operated
within this period. An adequate management with proper
surgical resection of tumour and radiotherapy can extend
the life expectancy for TBSCC patients |
