Objectives: Temporal tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCTs) are often large and have invaded the middle skull base. It is difficult to protect the important neurovascular structures around the tumor and perform functional reconstruction on the basis of complete tumor resection. This study aimed at analyzing the surgical techniques and functional reconstruction during the operation of complex TGCT of temporal bone and middle skull base. Methods: Five patients with pathologically confirmed TGCT of different complex types in the temporal bone and middle skull base were treated in our hospital from December 2020 to February 2023. We collected and retrospectively analyzed their medical records, including medical imaging, surgical procedures, and follow-up data. Results: The tumors invaded beyond the temporal bone and destroyed the middle skull base in all cases, involving the intracranial space and other important neurovascular structures. The internal carotid artery, infratemporal fossa, pterygopalatine fossa, and parapharyngeal space were also involved in 1 case. All the patients' tumors were completely removed, and the operations were performed mainly via modified infratemporal fossa approach, or combined with expanded middle cranial fossa approach. All cases with temporal and skull base destruction were repaired using the temporalis muscle flap with no occurrence of intracranial complications. The dura mater, condyle of temporomandibular joint, facial nerve, and internal carotid artery were fully preserved. Normal maxillofacial morphology was also preserved. The air conductive hearing of 2 patients was preserved. Conclusions: We found and summarized some surgical techniques that can help safeguard the important structures around massive TGCTs of temporal bone and middle skull base, and reconstruct the defects after tumor resection. The techniques are effective and feasible.
