title: Intratympanic membrane cholesteatoma: a rare incidental finding.
abstract: Intratympanic membrane cholesteatoma, occurring in the absence of trauma or surgery to the ear, is rare with less than 20 cases reported in the literature. We report a rare incidental finding of intratympanic membrane cholesteatoma in a 12-month-old girl and review the literature.
