Sedated oral exam: large mass deviating the soft palate ventrally, obstructing view of the epiglottis
FNA of mass: kertainized squamous debris◦ Inconclusive interpretation due to low cellularity

Primary Differential:Cholesteatoma

Severe otitis media Usually not expansile
Neoplasia◦ Middle/inner ear
Usually soft tissue swelling w/ contrast enhancement Usually permeative lysis of tympanic bulla/petrous
temporal bone◦ External ear
Soft tissue mass within ear canal (enhancement)

Epidermoid cyst within the middle ear
Keratin debris surrounded by keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
VRUS paper describes 3 components (cyst, matrix, perimatrix) but not really used
What is a Cholesteatoma?
![Page 9: Winkie Lynch Acc 140663](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816507550346895dd77a54/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Congenital◦ Start with a normal, intact tympanic membrane◦ No otitis media◦ Inclusion or rest of squamous epithelium forms a cyst◦ Can be recognized late in life
Acquired1. Metaplastic transformation of normal epithelium2. Retraction of tympanic membrane into middle ear3. Migration of epithelium from perforated membrane into middle ear4. Basement membrane breach w/ migration of cells from membrane into subepithelial space
Most cases in dogs occur w/ otitis media (therefore = acquired)
How are Cholesteatomas Formed?
![Page 10: Winkie Lynch Acc 140663](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816507550346895dd77a54/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Slow or rapid expansion of cyst◦ Keratin or sebaceous material accumulates
Mild-severe inflammatory response◦ Cytokine production varies◦ Can become infected
How are Cholesteatomas Formed?
![Page 11: Winkie Lynch Acc 140663](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56816507550346895dd77a54/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cholesterol granuloma reported in few dogs◦ Benign expansive lesions that develop in middle
ear and other normally aerated bony cavities◦ Occurs w/ hemorrhage, obstruction of ventilation◦ Cholesterol precipitates (from RBC membrane or
mucosa) to form crystals granulomatous reaction
24% of people w/ cholesteatoma have cholesterol granulomas◦ Also occur w/ chronic otitis media, tumors
Role of Cholesterol?

Incidence > 11% of dogs with otitis media
Several case series:◦ M > F, mean age ~ 7 yo◦ Many with history of chronic otitis
Clinical signs (similar between reports): ◦ Head tilt◦ Peripheral vestibular◦ Ataxia◦ Pain on opening mouth◦ Increased respiratory noise/respiratory effort (rare)

CT features of middle ear cholesteatoma in dogs. VRUS. 2010. 51(4):374-379◦ Unilateral expansile mass w/o contrast
enhancement** Keratin debris = avascular = no enhancement
◦ Severe bone changes (slow progressive growth) Lysis, proliferation, sclerosis
◦ Minimal air remains in the tympanic bulla◦ Rarely, periosteal reaction associated with adjacent
TMJ
**prev. reports with heterogeneous enhancement

** if cholesteatoma and cholesterol granuloma coexist, appearance can be heterogeneous and difficult to interpret

Surgical removal◦ Removal all keratin debris and epithelium
Recurrence◦ Risk factors: inability to open mouth, neurologic signs, bone
lysis, P.aeruginosa◦ Recurrence in humans ~ 5-50%
If no TECA-BO, need chronic treatment with open external ear canal to allow removal of debris
Winkie had TECA-LBO & VBO◦ Cultured S.pseudointermedius, E. faecalis
