  • Title: 'Cholesteatoma' of the orbit.
    Author: Parke DW, Font RL, Boniuk M, McCrary JA.
    Journal: Arch Ophthalmol; 1982 Apr; 100(4):612-6. PubMed ID: 7073577.
    Abstract:
    'Cholesteatoma' of the orbit is a variant of pseudotumor histologically characterized by masses of cholesterol crystals. We propose the term "epidermoid or true cholesteatoma" for lesions containing epithelial elements and refer to those nonepithelium-containing pseudotumors as "cholesterol granulomas." Important clinical features distinguish between epidermoid cholesteatomas and cholesterol granulomas of the orbit and justify a separation of these two pathologic entities.
