Chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma is a condition where a noncancerous skin growth (cholesteatoma) develops in the middle ear due to a long-standing infection (chronic otitis media). This growth can erode surrounding bone, leading to potential complications like hearing loss, ear infections, and, in severe cases, more serious issues like facial paralysis or brain abscesses.
