Primary AFH of the temporal bone is a rare tumor requiring careful histopathologic diagnosis and complete surgical excision with long-term follow-up.
Primary AFH of the temporal bone is an exceptionally rare entity that can mimic other destructive skull lesions on imaging and intraoperative inspection. Accurate diagnosis relies on careful histopathologic evaluation and exclusion of histologic mimickers using a comprehensive immunohistochemical panel. Complete surgical excision remains the cornerstone of treatment, and long-term follow-up is recommended due to the tumor's intermediate malignant potential.
