Abstract：objective To report treatment outcomes of external auditory canal cholesteatoma combined with mastoiditis and tympanic membrane perforation. Methods This is a retrospective study of 40 cases with external auditory canal choleste?atoma. All cases were followed six months to 1 year. Treatment outcomes by different surgical approaches were compared us?ing Fisher's exact probability test. Results (1) There was no recurrence among the cases during the following up to 1 year;(2) There was no statistically significant difference regarding eradication of middle ear infection among different surgical ap?proaches (p=0.375);(3) There was no statistically significant difference among different surgical approaches regarding tym?panic membrane healing (p=0.426). Conclusion The key in treatment of external auditory canal cholesteatoma with mastoid?itis and tympanic membrane perforation is the removal of cholesteatoma. Tympanoplasty and ear drum repair should be based on findings during mastoidotympanectomy and may need to be completed in phaseⅡ.
