Head & Neck Aug 16, 2019
Yafit D, Duek I, Abu-Ghanem S, et al. - Through the collection and analysis of patient information on infratemporal fossa (ITF) tumor resection in a single tertiary referral medical center, researchers reported the center's experience with ITF to review treatment modalities and results. Among 63 patients, the most common pathology was sarcoma (29%). Preauricular-orbitozygomatic approach, followed by endoscopic, craniofacial resection, and combined approaches, was the most common surgical approach. It is possible to complete surgical resection of ITF involving tumors, offering excellent long-term survival. The key to achievement is a multidisciplinary tactic. Three-year survival rate for malignancy was 82%; the five-year rate was 66%.
