Cholesteatoma is a head and neck pathology ditzel.

General

  • Squamous epithelium in the middle ear - leading to accumulation of keratinaceous debris.[1]
    • Keratosis obturans - accumulation in the external ear canal - is considered to be a different process;[2] though some consider it a synonym.[3]
  • The etiology is not well understood.[4][5]
    • Theories include migration/hyperplasia, and metaplasia.[5]
  • Rarely transforms into squamous cell carcinoma.[6][7]

Classification

May be subdivided into:[4]

  • Acquired - due to trauma, surgery or infection.
  • Congenital.

Gross

  • Whitish mass in the middle ear.[8]

Features:[9]

  • Keratinaceous debris - key feature.
  • Squamous epithelium.
  • Macrophages +/- giant cell (containing keratinceous debris).
  • Chronic inflammation (lymphocytes).
