Cholesteatoma 

Cholesteatoma - This lesion is somewhat inappropriately named as it is not exactly a tumour nor is it made of cholesterol but rather it is a 3-dimensional collection of epidermal and connective tissues within the middle ear. Its significance lies in the fact that it grows independently and can be locally invasive and destructive. This (usually) unilateral lesion can give rise to a spectrum of problems ranging from painless otorrhoea (discharge from the ear) through to serious central nervous system complications. cholesteatoma, ear, eustachian, conductive hearing loss, deafness, deaf, hearing loss, otorrhoea, vertigo, tympanic membrane perforation, ent, ent., physical examination, examination, facial nerve palsy, facial nerve, symptoms and signs, history, history of, signs
