Abstract:
As a postoperative complication, the recurrence of aural cholesteatoma is well documented. On rare occasions, a recurred cholesteatoma can penetrate the adjacent soft tissues instead of middle ear or extemal auditory canal. Recently, authors experienced a cholesteatoma in soft tissues of posteriorinferior portion of auricle, developing 8 years after an intact bridge mastoidectomy. We reviewed the reported case of cholesteatoma in soft tissues.
