Abstract
External auditory canal cholesteatoma is a rare disease. Main symptoms of this entity are ear discharge and dull chronic ear pain and significant findings are bony erosion of the external canal with keratin debris accumulation. Inadequate diagnosis and delay in the treatment of this condition can leads to serious complications. We are presenting our experience of eight patients of spontaneous EACC treated by surgical management. As the spontaneous EACC is a rare condition, the aim of the study is to share the experience of diagnosis and management of spontaneous EACC. © Association of Otolaryngologists of India 2019.Entities:
