Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 We asked the specialist what exactly is Cholesteatoma? He told us the easiest way to describe it is this - " when skin cells die, they flake off. When it happens on your arm they just fall off. When it happens in your ear and your estatian tube is plugged (ear infections) the cells have nowhere to escape to. Therefore they stay in the ear and continue to stay there and continue to build up.
