Cholesteatoma is a small skin cyst which grows in the middle ear. These masses can slowly expand and destroy ear bones or the inner ear system. They result in chronic infection and typically do not respond to medical management. Our team typically performs a tympanomastoidectomy to remove the cyst and rebuild the hearing mechanism.
