The article offers clinical information on cholesteatoma, a lesion of the ear characterized with a mass of stratified keratinising squamous epithelium. The clinical manifestations of cholesteatoma include intermittent unilateral otorrhoea and progressive hearing loss. Cholesteatoma is diagnosed by assessing the patient's clinical features, and utilizing high resolution computed tomography and audiogram. The therapeutic options for cholesteatoma include surgical excision and conservative management. According to the authors, the diagnosis and management of cholesteatoma is important because its misdiagnosis may lead to sensorineural hearing loss, vertigo or facial palsy.
