Abstract
Dermoid cysts of the middle ear are very rare and can develop behind an intact tympanic membrane, just like congenital cholesteatoma. The visual and clinical symptoms of congenital cholesteatomas and dermoid cysts are difficult to distinguish from each other. Their treatments are similar, however the correct diagnosis can be obtained histopathologically after removing the lesion. In this article a case of a twenty-seven-yearold male patient, whose diagnosis was presumed to be dermoid cyst in the middle ear according to the preoperative radiologic examination but reported to be congenital cholesteatoma as a result of the postoperative histopathologic examination, was reported.
Özet
Dermoid kist orta kulakta çok nadir görülmek- tedir ve tıpkı doğuştan kolesteatom gibi sağlam kulak zarı arkasında gelişebilir. Dermoid kist ve doğuştan kolesteatomların görsel ve klinik semptomlarının ayrımı zordur. Tedavileri ben- zerdir, ancak kesin tanı lezyonun çıkarılması sonrasında histopatolojik olarak konulur. Bu yazıda tanısı ameliyat öncesi dönemde radyolo- jik incelemeyle orta kulakta dermoid kist olduğu tahmin edilen ancak ameliyat sonrasında histo- patolojik inceleme sonucu doğuştan kolesteatom olarak bildirilen yirmi yedi yaşındaki bir erkek olgu sunuldu
