Abstract
External ear canal cholesteatoma (EECC) is rare in ear, nose and throa t (ENT) practice. Two cases, one bilateral, are described. Computed to mography demonstrates the extent of bony involvement. Erosion of the e xternal canal should not be overlooked when reviewing CT of the petrou s bone in cases of discharge from the ear. EECC may necessitate surger y and delay in the diagnosis of EECC can result in progressive bony de struction.
