Background: Though rare, benign lesions that usually do not necessitate active intervention, osteomas of the external auditory canal, can be troublesome when they start to produce mass effect and severe obstruction to the external auditory canal. Even more insidious is the rarer phenomenon of canal wall cholesteatomas, which have been known to cause significant canal erosion and if left unchecked and spontaneous destruction of the adjacent anatomical structures, including the facial nerve, temporomandibular joint, sigmoid sinus, and skull base. The occurrence of both these exceptionally uncommon findings in the same canal is an unusual finding and may point to an undetermined interplay in pathogenesis.

Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor that typically presents with nocturnal pain alleviated by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. The coexistence of osteoid osteoma with sickle cell anemia, a hereditary hemoglobinopathy characterized by vaso-occlusive crises and bone infarcts, poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to overlapping clinical and radiological features. This condition primarily involves the long bones of the lower extremities, particularly the femur and tibia.

Osteomas in the external auditory canal (EAC) can lead to stenosis, and impair epithelium migration and self-cleaning capability, thereby trapping keratinized epithelium and triggering the development of cholesteatoma. Our study aims to identify the risk of cholesteatoma development in patients with osteoma and proposes a stepwise approach to managing patients with EAC osteoma. The maximum diameter of the osteoma was measured in axial and coronal views on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT).
