Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 My Eddie is 8 years old. He has a Cholosteatoma in his ear canal. This is a benign skin growth (tumor) that keeps coming back. This will be his 4th surgery in 2 years to remove it. It grows rapidly and presses on the facial nerve. His surgeries last approx. 5 hours. It's the lungs under anesthesia that is the scariest part. No one (as far as I know) knows what causes it. I was wondering if anyone has every had this problem? mom of 2 w/cf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
