“…In the region of the air spaces in the temporal bone, they are a frequent phenomenon accompanying chronic middle-ear diseases with diminished ventilation. The condition has been repeatedly reported in the literature (Friedmann, 1959;Altes, 1966;Nager and Vanderveen, 1976;Gherini etal., 1985).…”

“…According to different authors, blood, transudate, degenerating tissue, even in situ synthesis, is supposed to be the main source of cholesterol (Ojala, 1957;Friedmann, 1959Friedmann, , 1979Altes, 1966;Beaumont, 1966;Main et al, 1970;Wyler et al, 1974;Sade and Teitz, 1982).

Cholesterol granulomata of the middle ear occasionally accompany chronic middle-ear diseases with diminished ventilation. In the paranasal sinuses, especially in the frontal sinus, they have occasionally been mentioned in the literature.Disordered ventilation and impaired drainage are decisive pathogenic factors in the causation of cholesterol granuloma. Views remain divided on the source of the cholesterol and on the importance of bleeding in the development of cholesterol granuloma. Two patients with a cholesterol granuloma of the frontal sinus are presented and discussed.

Cholesterol granuloma (CG) is a rare condition histological consisting of a foreign body, giant cell reaction to cholesterol crystals and haemosiderin derived from the ruptured of the erythrocytes. A 25-year-old man came to our Department presenting signs and symptoms of tympano-mastoid cholesterol granuloma. He showed all the specific sign and symptoms of the disease. However, considering the lack of literature regarding TMCG, this study was performed with the aim of presenting the main characteristics of tympano-mastoid CG, describing the case report and reviewing the literature.

“…These components are all embedded in a fibrous granula¬ tion tissue.3·4 There are numerous, fre¬ quently pathologic blood vessels.5 Areas of recent and old hemorrhage are found side by side. 6 The brownish color of a cholesterol granuloma comes from the hemosiderin deposits, the yellow aspect from the presence of lipids, and the glistening property from the presence of cholesterol crys¬ tals.5 The lining of a cholesterol gran¬ uloma cyst is fibrous tissue, not kera¬ tinizing squamous epithelium.…”

A 50-year-old woman presented with progressive hoarseness of three months' duration and exertional dyspnea of six months' duration. The patient denied having cough, hemoptysis, weight loss, otalgia, and dysphagia. The patient did not use cigarettes or alcohol. The medical history was remarkable for arthritis treated with tolmetin sodium and indomethacin.Physical examination revealed a saddle-nose deformity (Fig 1), arthritic changes in the hands at the distal and proximal interphalangeal joints, and polypoid degeneration of the vocal cords. Admission chest roentgenogram, complete blood cell count, electrolyte levels, and electrocardiogram were normal. The antinuclear
