Chondroblastoma is a rare tumor of the bone that represents approximately 1％ of all primary bone tumors. This tumor frequently grows within the epiphysis of long bones, and, very rarely, in the temporal bone.
We report a case of chondroblastoma of the temporal bone and discuss the clinical features, histopathological findings, differential diagnosis and treatment.
Key words : chondroblastoma, temporal bone, diagnosis
