Talk:Cholesteatoma

these are not tumours!!!

 * This issue is currently being debated. See the following for a review:--Zyryab 14:29, 206 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The above article does not suport the view that cholesteatomas are neoplastic. A quote from the conclusion : "Cholesteatoma is a wound-healing process rather than a neoplastic lesion. Research to date does not indicate any genetic instability in cholesteatomas, which is a critical feature of malignant lesions."

Removed from article because it was not referenced and seemed dubious... ~ Gromreaper 02:55, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


 * ==Trivia==
 * Cholesteatoma was first described by the famous Dublin eye surgeon Sir William Wilde. His son, the writer Oscar Wilde, unfortunately died as a result of a cholesteatoma!!
