    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study reviews 18 posterior fossa cholesteatomas, highlighting unusual CT scan presentations. Three cases showed atypical appearances due to calcification, hemorrhage, or malignant transformation into epidermoid carcinoma.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Cholesteatomas in the posterior fossa are rare and can present diagnostic challenges.
    • Understanding their varied clinical and radiological features is crucial for effective management.

    Observation:

    • The study analyzed 18 cases of posterior fossa cholesteatomas.
    • Particular attention was given to three cases with atypical computed tomography (CT) scan findings.

    Findings:

    • Atypical CT appearances were linked to calcification, intralesional hemorrhage, and malignant transformation.
    • One case demonstrated malignant change to epidermoid carcinoma, a rare but critical finding.

    Implications:

    • These findings emphasize the importance of considering differential diagnoses beyond typical cholesteatoma on CT scans.
