  • Title: Tympanic membrane cholesteatoma: a rare finding.
    Author: Atmaca S, Seçkin E, Koyuncu M.
    Journal: Turk J Pediatr; 2010; 52(3):309-11. PubMed ID: 20718191.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare finding of tympanic membrane cholesteatoma in a two-year-old girl. Tympanic membrane cholesteatoma without trauma or surgery to the ear is a rare entity, with few cases documented in the literature. The exact etiology of this lesion is still unclear. The presentation, clinical course and management are discussed. A whitish spot on the tympanic membrane should raise suspicion for cholesteatoma. Early diagnosis and treatment are imperative to allow an easy removal and avoid middle ear involvement.
