Abstract

Congenital hemifacial hypertrophy is an extremely rare condition. At the time of writing this article, there have been 37 cases reported in the literature. Of these, only two have appeared in the otolaryngologic literature. Cholesteatoma of the external auditory canal (EAC) in hemifacial hypertrophy has not been reported before. This article reports one such case, and discusses the classification of hemihypertrophies. A review of the literature is included in the discussion. Management of cholesteatomas of the external auditory canal is also touched upon. A new theory for the peculiar site selection of cholesteatomas of the external auditory canal is postulated.
