Cholesteatoma are specially localized in middle ear and mastoid process, although sometimes is the external ear canal which shows the disorder. Usually its a appearance is spontaneous. We report a rare case of gigantic cholesteatoma which origin was the previous otologic surgery done because of the inclusion of a bit of epithelial tissue inside the surgical incision. Similar outcomes justify periodical checking after ear surgery with outlining a tympanomeatal flap.
