BACKGROUND
Cholesteatomas are locally destructive collections of epithelial debris arising from temporal bone squamous epithelium. Recurrences may occur after removal and are typically located within the temporal bone.
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to report a case of a massive, recurrent cholesteatoma with extension to temporoparietal scalp in a 37-year-old woman.
METHODS
Case report with literature review.
RESULTS
The patient underwent complete excision of a well-circumscribed left temporal mass, intraoperatively identified to arise from the middle ear and to contain keratin debris.
CONCLUSION
We report a case of recurrent cholesteatoma with massive extension to temporoparietal scalp. Clinical suspicion of recurrent cholesteatoma should remain in the differential diagnosis of temporal mass with prior history of cholesteatoma.
