Aggressiveness in cholesterol granuloma of the temporal bone may be determined by the vigor of its blood source.
Otol Neurotol. 2007; (2): 232-5
Recently, it has been proposed that the aggressive behavior of cholesterol granuloma (CG) of the petrous apex is explained by its proximity to the richly vascular marrow of the petroclival junction. Most CGs of the lateral temporal bone are indolent. The purpose of the present study is to examine the factors responsible for atypical aggressive behavior in mastoid CG.
