Um yeah, what a mouth full! Well a fibroinflammatory pseudotumor is said to be clinically malignant tumor but the lesions are said to be benign. It can occur in many places in the human body, but occurs rarely in the temporal bone. While there are very few that have this disease, symptoms were similar. Vertigo, pain, and swelling at the site are common. This isn's a very common disease of the temporal bone, but I want to list something different. The tumors are said to be slow growing but very apparent when in the temporal bone. In one case a women notice a increase in pain on her face and a loss of hearing that progressed over time. Once swelling occured she went to the hospital to get a MRI. Most are treated by surgery and the others with steroids and radiations. Some say it happens due to chronic infections or autoimmune problems.
