Abstract | HYPOTHESIS: BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the origin of aural cholesteatoma may be the external auditory canal epidermal cells, and the characteristics of these cells do not change once the cholesteatoma develops. This study also suggests that cholesteatoma has different biologic nature from that of the normal epithelial cell, especially in the basal cells.
