Primary cholesteatomas (PCs) are embryologic residual nests in the middle ear cleft. Based on a study of 56 cases (48 of them from the literature), a new classification is suggested: tympanic cavity PC (71% of the cases), and temporal bone PC (29%). Among the tympanic cavity cases a significant number (63%) were found in the anterosuperior quadrant. The findings support the embryologic theory for the origin of PC.
原发性胆脂瘤(PCs)是中耳裂内的胚胎残余巢。基于对56例病例(其中48例来自文献)的研究,提出了一种新的分类:鼓室PC(占病例的71%)和颞骨PC(占29%)。在鼓室病例中,相当数量(63%)位于前上象限。这些发现支持了PC起源的胚胎学理论。
