Abstract

Pediatric external auditory canal cholesteatoma (EACC) is a rare and progressive disease with potential erosion and high destruction of neighboring structures. We report a case of right external auditory canal cholesteatoma in a three-year-old girl. She was admitted to Vinmec Times City Hospital with episodes of otorrhea and otalgia in the right ear for about one year and was diagnosed with EACC. Laparoscopic surgical resection was performed for treatment. After operation, the patient is being observed until 9 months without any recurrence.
