ABSTRACT

External auditory canal cholesteatomas are an uncommon condition. Clinically, they are found as a keratin tumor which erodes the external auditory canal, causing necrosis and bone lysis through several mechanisms. We report a case of this disease in a 40-year-old patient with symptomatology of several years of evolution, treated by wall-down mastoidectomy and complete removal of cholesteatoma, without recurrence within two years of follow-up.
