Abstract
We report an Is-year-old woman. with a giant cell tumour of the spheno id bone, CT demonstrated a Iytic sob-tissue mass arising ii-om the sph enoid body, extending to the left petrous apex and into the nasopharyn x On MRI the tumour had nonspecific signal intensity: but there was co ntrast enhancement on both examinations. CT was better for showing the extent of the osseous disease, whereas MRI was more accurate as regar ds sob-tissue extension.
