Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery volume 65, pages 665–669 (2013)Cite this article

Abstract

Presence of cholesteatoma in the middle ear of the patients with chronic mucosal otitis media has been reported in the literature. But presence of cholesteatoma only in the mastoid, in the absence of cholesteatoma in the middle ear of a patient with chronic mucosal otitis media, is not reported in the literature. In this article three cases of mastoid cholesteatoma, in patients with a clinical picture of chronic mucosal otitis media is reported along with the literature review.
