Abstract

the very active nature of tumor recurrence, following both the excision biopsy and exenteration, was suprising, and the likelihood of radiotherapy or chemotherapy controlling such macroscopic disease was remote. 1,[4] 5][6] Radical skull base surgery, which entails an intraoperative mortality rate of several percent, was considered. However, it was highly improbable that even this kind of surgery could have successfully eradicated the tumor, and the patient declined further intervention.
