Description
Introduction and importance:External auditory canal cholesteatoma (EACC) is a rare, non-neoplastic lesion representing 0.1%–0.5% of otologic cases. Despite its rarity, EACC can be highly destructive, similar to middle ear cholesteatoma. Owing to its proximity to vital structures such as the facial nerve, severe complications, including facial paralysis, may occur, although such presentations remain exceptionally uncommon and scarcely reported.
