title: Congenital cholesteatoma presenting as a post-auricular mass.
abstract: Congenital cholesteatoma usually presents as either a conductive deafness or as a facial palsy. We report a case which presented as a post-auricular mass. It is important to recognize the possibility that the disease may present in this way when considering the management of such a mass.
