HE Guanwen
Abstract：External auditory canal cholesteatoma (EACC) is a rare otologic disease, which is often misdiagnosed because of its often non-characteristic clinical presentations. Its etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear, and there are no unified international classification or staging standards. Principle treatment is conservative or surgical removal of EACC, with surgical techniques vary considerably. This paper reviews latest advances in the etiology, pathogenesis, clas-sification/staging, diagnosis and treatment of this condition, in a hope to faciitate clinical management.
