Histology of aural polyp as a predictor of middle ear disease activity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
This study compares the histology of aural polyp with the subsequent clinical course of the middle ear disease. AH cases of aural polyps that presented to the department during 1988 and 1989 were included. Patients who had previous ear surgery were excluded as were cases where the operation was part of clearance of known cholesteatoma rather than polypectomy alone.
We found that the histology of the aural polyp was not a precise predictor of the presence or absence of cholesteatoma, nor of the subsequent course of the middle ear disease.
