The case presented here illustrates this example in that the patient had abnormalities on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance image (MRI) scans quite convincing of malignancy but which with time proved, essentially through clinical judgment, to be skull base osteomyelitis secondary to malignant external otitis (OME).
