Abstract:
The clinical manifestations of leukemic patients who have temporal bone infiltration are acute mastoiditis, hearing impairment, tinnitus, dizziness, otorrhea, retro-auricular mass and facial nerve palsy. Otologic manifestations of leukemic patients have also been reported several times. However, reports about temporal bone infiltration by leukemic cells after complete remission have been rare, and there have not yet been any reports about both temporal bone infiltration that has been confirmed by mastoid biopsy after remission. We recently experienced a case of recurring acute myelogenous leukemia in both temporal bones after a complete remission and report it with a review of the literature.
