Introduction. Congenital cholesteatoma is a pearly white mass that rarely originates from the mastoid process. Case Report. A 21-year-old male patient presented to our department with severe right mastoid pain and postauricular fluctuant swelling for 23 days. There was no preceding history of ear complaints and examination showed a normal right ear drum. Emergency exploration of the mastoid process was done on the same day and revealed localized cholesteatoma limited only to the mastoid cavity. Conclusion. Despite a rarity, the mastoid process should be always put in mind as a site of origin for congenital cholesteatoma.
引言。先天性胆脂瘤是一种珍珠白色肿物，很少起源于乳突。病例报告。一名21岁男性患者因严重的右侧乳突疼痛和耳后波动性肿胀23天前来我院就诊。既往无耳部不适病史，检查显示右鼓膜正常。当日对乳突进行了急诊探查，发现局限性胆脂瘤仅局限于乳突腔。结论。尽管罕见，但乳突应始终被视为先天性胆脂瘤的起源部位。
