1/23. Primary basal cell carcinoma of the middle ear presenting as recurrent cholesteatoma.OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to sensitize the practitioner to the unusual presentation of basal cell carcinoma in a recurrent cholesteatoma mass. STUDY DESIGN: The study design was a case report format. SETTING: The study was conducted at a tertiary referral hospital. PATIENT: The patient studied was a contralaterally anacusic veteran. INTERVENTION: Interventions were excision of cholesteatoma and withholding of adjunctive radiation. CONCLUSION: Primary basal cell carcinoma may present in a revision cholesteatoma field.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cholesteatoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/23. Schwannoma of the chorda tympani nerve.We report a case of schwannoma of the chorda tympani. This is a very rare benign tumour and only five other cases have been found in the literature. This is the first case to mimic a cholesteatoma presenting as a pearly tumour in the postero-superior segment of the drum with aural discharge and conductive deafness. diagnosis is usually by biopsy and treatment is surgical with preservation of facial and auditory function. A summary of the other presentations of this tumour together with a review of the histopathology of the disease is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = cholesteatoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/23. Jacobson's nerve schwannoma: a rare middle ear mass.The case of a 55-year-old woman with a middle ear mass is presented. The preoperative diagnostic workup, including an audiogram and imaging studies, and the histopathologic findings of the tumor are reviewed. The tumor, a schwannoma, arose from Jacobson's nerve in the middle ear. The surgical anatomy of Jacobson's nerve and the surgical approach to this tumor and to other tumors of the middle ear space are discussed. Tumors of the tympanic cavity are rare, with the exception of cholesteatoma; otherwise, the most common among them are paraganglioma and facial nerve neuroma. This report represents the first documented case of a schannoma arising from Jacobson's nerve in the tympanic cavity.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = cholesteatoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/23. Congenital cholesteatoma of external auditory canal.A 7-month-old male child is reported with congenital cholesteatoma of the external auditory canal. We describe the clinical features, computed tomography finding and surgical treatment. Congenital cholesteatomas can occur within the temporal bone. There are six places of location: (1) petrous apex, (2) mastoid, (3) middle ear, (4) both middle ear and mastoid, (5) external ear canal and (6) within the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Congenital cholesteatoma of the external auditory canal is rare. Generally, it appears in the canal floor without lesions in the tympanic membrane. Computed tomography completes the study. Treatment consists of excision of the mass.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cholesteatoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/23. Fibromyxoma of the middle ear (a case report).Fibromyxoma of the middle ear (a case report). We report an extremely rare case of fibromyxoma of the middle ear which was first suspected to be a cholesteatoma. Surgery was performed through a postauricular incision and pathologic study of the tumor gave us the final diagnosis. Fibromyxoma is an uncommon benign tumour of the head and neck region which usually arises in the jaw (1). Its local aggressivity and gelatinous consistency explain the difficulties to remove it radically and its frequent recurrences after treatment (2). Surgical resection with a wide excision seems to be the treatment of choice. Some authors advocate the use of argon or CO2 laser to achieve the treatment. A review of the poor literature about this subject is discussed in this article.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = cholesteatoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/23. paraganglioma presenting as chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma: pitfalls and strategies.The coexistence of paraganglioma with cholesteatoma is a very rare clinical disorder. The clinical presentations are nonspecific. There may be radiological characteristics of either cholesteatoma or paraganglioma in the middle ear area, but the diagnosis of the coexistence of the 2 is usually made only postoperatively. Here is such a case that is made more interesting not only because it initially presented with conductive hearing loss but also because the clinical picture mimicked chronic otitis media. The patient underwent postauricular tympanomastoidectomy with extended facial recess approach to remove the tumor. No evidence of recurrence and complications were noted.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = cholesteatoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/23. Middle ear carcinoma originating from a primary acquired cholesteatoma: a case report.OBJECTIVES: To describe middle ear carcinoma originating from the matrix of primary acquired cholesteatoma in a 43-year-old man and to discuss the relationship between middle ear carcinoma and cholesteatoma. STUDY DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Department of otolaryngology, head and neck Surgery of Niigata University Medical and Dental Hospital, which is a tertiary care center, Niigata, japan. PATIENT: A 43-year-old man demonstrated symptoms resembling those of cholesteatoma: facial palsy, gradually progressive hearing loss, and chronic draining of the right ear. Other objective findings also supported a finding of cholesteatoma, but a computed tomographic scan and magnetic resonance imaging scan showed a well-enhanced mass and extensive bony erosion in the middle ear. At surgery, a granulous tumor in the mastoid cavity was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma, and closely coexisting cholesteatoma was found. Surgical specimen demonstrated carcinoma and cholesteatoma in the same field. INTERVENTION: radiation and chemotherapy were performed followed-up by mastoidectomy. CONCLUSION: Because middle ear carcinoma has a poor prognosis, it is important to detect lesions early. It is necessary to consider that middle ear carcinoma arises from not only chronic otitis media or surgical invasion but also from primary acquired cholesteatoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.5714285714286keywords = cholesteatoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/23. osteoma of the middle ear. Report of a case.Osteomas of the middle ear are rare. We report a case of a 7-year-old boy with osteoma originating from the pyramidal eminence, combined with congenital cholesteatoma. The osteoma and cholesteatoma were successfully removed by tympanomastoidectomy. The long process of the incus and the superstructure of the stapes disappeared. The body of the incus was sculpted and used as a columella. Histopathologically, the osteoma was much the same as an external auditory canal osteoma. The possibility of a primary congenital origin of this neoplasm is suggested.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.28571428571429keywords = cholesteatoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/23. Auro-nasopharyngeal polyp and cholesteatoma.We report the association of an auronasopharyngeal polyp arising in a congenitally abnormal middle ear and eustachian tube. Subsequently, ten years after removal of the polyp and insertion of a ventilation tube, there was recurrence of the polyp in association with cholesteatoma of the middle ear.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = cholesteatoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/23. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease probably acquired from a cadaveric dura mater graft. Case report.A case of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is reported in a 28-year-old woman who had received a cadaveric dural graft 19 months earlier after resection of a cholesteatoma. The circumstances of the case point to the graft as the most likely source of the disease. Cadaveric dura should be added to the list of materials that may transmit CJD, and it must be very carefully screened if it is used at all for grafting. Autologous tissue should be considered whenever possible.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = cholesteatoma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
