Abstract
A 7-year-old girl had non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NB CIE) in treatment with retinoids. She also suffered continuous desquamation of the external ears, recurrent external otitis, chronic adenoiditis, tuba ric dysfunction and intermittent episodes of otitis media and developed a c holesteatoma in her left ear. Chronic scaling disorders, such as NBCIE and other ichthyosis, can be entities at risk for the development of cholesteat oma in childhood. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserve d.
