A cholesteatoma cyst consists of desquamating (peeling) layers of scaly or keratinised (horny) layers of epithelium , which may also contain cholesterol crystals. If untreated, a cholesteatoma can eat into the three small bones located in the middle ear (the malleus incus and stapes , collectively called ossicles ), which can result in nerve deterioration, deafness , imbalance and vertigo . It can also affect and erode, through the enzymes it produces, the thin bone structure that isolates the top of the ear from the brain, as well as lay the covering of the brain open to infection with serious complications. A history of ear infection or flooding of the ear during swimming should be taken serious and investigated and cholesteatoma should be considered a possible outcome.

An ear is an organ used by an animal to detect sound. The term may refer to the entire system responsible for collection and early processing of sound (the beginning of the auditory system), or merely the externally-visible part. Not all animals have ears in the same part of the body. Spiders have hairs on their legs which are used for detecting sound.

51. Cholesteatoma Can Cost You Your Hearing
    cholesteatoma Can Cost You Your Hearing Healthcare and Tricare Health Tips - Illness and Injury by Summer Alford, Staff Writer Fort Riley, Kan., Post.

    Extractions: Fort Riley, Kan., Post Many soldiers take their hearing for granted, but one soldier has a new respect for the luxury of sound. Staff Sgt. Todd Hafer of Fort Riley, Kan., has lost most of his hearing in one ear. Hafer had no idea that a hearing test could have caught the warning signs of cholesteatoma, a benign growth of skin in an abnormal location such as the middle ear. "I had perfect hearing before. Now I have less than 30 percent of my hearing in my left ear," said Hafer. "I have only one of the three bones in my ear, with no ear canal." If left untreated, cholesteatoma can cause an erosion of the bones behind the eardrum, leading to severe hearing loss. The initial signs of a cholesteatoma are drainage from the ear canal, a full feeling or pressure in the ear, along with hearing loss. Without the bones in the ear, sound cannot be transferred, Hafer said. In late 2001, Hafer had his hearing tested after feeling the warning signs that something might be wrong. "I got motion sickness and I had a hard time even driving or riding in cars," he said.

This site maintained by Todd A. Child M.D. and the Ear Nose and Throat Center of Salt Lake City A cholesteatoma is a skin growth that occurs in an abnormal location, the middle ear behind the eardrum. It is usually due to repeated infection which causes an in growth of the skin of the eardrum. Cholesteatomas often take the form of a cyst or pouch which sheds layers of old skin that builds up inside the ear. Over time, the cholesteatoma can increase in size and destroy the surrounding delicate bones of the middle ear. Hearing loss, dizziness, and facial muscle paralysis are rare but can result from continued cholesteatoma growth. A cholesteatoma usually occurs because of poor eustachian tube function as well as infection in the middle ear. The eustachian tube conveys air from the back of the nose into the middle ear to equalize ear pressure ("clear the ears"). When the eustachian tubes work poorly, perhaps due to allergy, a cold or sinusitis, the air in the middle ear is absorbed by the body, and a partial vacuum results in the ear. The vacuum pressure sucks in a pouch or sac by stretching the eardrum, especially areas weakened by previous infections. This sac often becomes a cholesteatoma. A rare congenital form of cholesteatoma (one present at birth) can occur in the middle ear and elsewhere, such as in the nearby skull bones. However, the type of cholesteatoma associated with ear infections is most common.

    Extractions: A cholesteatoma is a greasy-looking mass or accumulation of debris that is seen in a retraction pocket or perforation. It often presents as chronic otorrhea unresponsive to antibiotic therapy. The diagram below shows how a retraction pocket can enlarge and accumulate debris to form an acquired cholesteatoma. Cholesteatomas also may be congenital.

    Extractions: Swimmer's Ear Cholesteatoma A perforation of the ear drum will generally heal without surgery. In some cases, however, instead of normally healing, the skin of the ear drum can grow through the hole into the middle ear. If infection is present, the skin will continue to grow into the middle ear and will become a tumor of the ear termed a cholesteatoma. Cholesteatomas are NOT a form of cancer. They are benign tumors. As they grow, they can look like an onion peel of white skin formed into a ball. Cholesteatomas can also be present without a hole in the ear drum, and without a history of ear infection. These types of cholesteatoms are called congenital cholesteatomas. They are often overlooked until they grow to a relatively large size. Cholesteatoma can destroy the bones of hearing as they grow, especially when the ear is infected. Consequently, symptoms of cholesteatoma include hearing loss and recurring discharge from the ear. Pus or unpleasant smelling fluids coming from the ear are common. A surgical microscope is necessary to make a proper inspection and cleansing of the condition, especially when there is infection. Cholesteatomas actively erode bone because they contain enzymes which are activated by moisture. In time, cholesteatomas will eventually erode the bone leading into the inner ear. This can cause nerve loss and deafness as well as severe imbalance and dizziness. The thin plate of bone that separates the roof of the ear from the brain can also be eroded by cholesteatomas.

    Hi there Sorry for being late, I was on vacation. Let me explain a little bit about cholesteatoma. cholesteatoma is skin growing in the wrong place.

    Extractions: My daughter had a cholesteatoma in her left ear, she had surgery on it 2/6/2002. Tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy wiht ossicular chain reconstruction with a prosthesis. We have gone back to the doctor for regular check ups. Now the doctor said the cholestoma has returned and that she need the surgery again. What are the chances of this and do I need to get a second a opinion? Cholesteatoma is skin growing in the wrong place. Aural cholesteatomas can be further defined as skin growing in the middle ear cleft. The skin consists of all layers of epithelium, including the basal germinative layer, which is in contact with the walls of the middle ear cleft. Desquamated keratin is continually shed by this matrix and forms the central mass of the cholesteatoma. Cholesteatoma is a misnomer originally coined by Johannes Mueller in 1838 when he described “a layered pearly tumor of fat, which was distinguished from other fat tumors by the biliary fat or cholesterin that is interspersed among the sheets of polyhedral cells.” Cholesteatomas do not contain fat, nor do they usually contain cholesterin. Nevertheless, the term remains, despite a more appropriate term suggested by Schuknecht: keratoma.

    Infections can sometimes lead to more serious ear problems such as permanent perforation of the ear drum, mastoiditis and cholesteatoma.  
    http://www.michiganear.com/library/C/csomvideo.html
    
    Extractions: Jack M Kartush, MD Ear infections are one of our most common ailments. 3 out of every 4 of children in America will have at least one ear infection before growing up. Infections in adults are much less common. When they occur, they are often in people who've had many infections in childhood or who have other causes for ear congestion such as cigarettes, allergies or the common cold. In fact, congestion of the ear is the cause of most infections. The ear ordinarily receives ventilation by the Eustachian tube which is a natural connection between the ear and the nose and throat. Anatomy and Physiology There are two parts of hearing: mechanical and nerve or electrical. The mechanical part picks up sound from the outer ear canal and then vibrates the ear drum and three tiny hearing bones in the middle ear. The Eustachian tube is the natural connection between the ear and the nose and throat. It helps ventilate the middle ear as well as the mastoid which is an air-filled honeycomb behind the ear. The inner ear looks a bit like a snail. It has two halves which are connected and are filled with fluid.

At What Point Should Someone Seek An Ear Specialist For Vertigo? May 01, 2000 What Is Cholesteatoma And What Are The Symptoms? Cholesteatoma is a cyst containing mostly the shed parts of skin. Layers of skin are always flaking off from our bodies. When it is contained in a place where that shed skin can't fall off and become dust, it collects into a ball. Then that ball or cyst slowly gets bigger and bigger causing destruction or erosion of things it is pressing against. When a small pocket of skin grows into the middle ear, it can cause erosion of the middle ear structures and sometimes extend to the inner ear or to the intercranial space near or in the brain. If this cholesteatoma were on your hand, we would get rid of it easily. But because it's located in such a difficult spot, close to so many vital structures, it becomes a major, serious condition.

Occasionally, cholesteatomas can be cleaned through the ear canal, under a microscope in the office, but most of them require surgery. It has a very high recurrence rate, for several reasons. One, if the entire cholesteatoma is not removed during the first surgery, there is a likelihood of recurrence. Second, if the disease process that caused the cholesteatoma to form in the first place still exists and hasn't improved, this can lead to a second cholesteatoma. So it's not really a residual cholesteatoma, but rather, a recurrent cholesteatoma. Sometimes they are residual, meaning, a little bit was left behind the first time, and sometimes they are recurrent, because the disease starts all over again.
