Re: People with cholesteatoma that are prone to cysts elsewhere in their body?

[Guest guest]

Hello Erwin,I had a small cyst on my shoulder, one on my back and one on my foot (all before I found out I had c-toma in both ears). I asked my Dr. all the cysts and she said some people are just more prone than others. I have often wondered if there is a connection between all the cysts and c-toma.

Have a wonderful afternoon.Meg

cholesteatoma From: anony8107@...Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2011 17:38:10 +0000Subject: People with cholesteatoma that are prone to cysts elsewhere in their body?

Hi,

As many others here, I have a cholesteatoma, which is a kind of cyst.

It seems that I am prone to cysts, because I also had some pilonidal cyst (around my bottom) and also a dental cyst (close to the root of a tooth that had an infection and previous root canal procedure). Both of those cysts are removed now.

Did anyone have other cysts in their body, aside from a cholesteatoma?

Thanks,

Erwin

I read on a website that cholesteatoma is a squamous skin cell growth. I have

been fighting this form of skin cancer on my arm for some years. I would think

anyone prone abnormal growths or cysts should be aware of this.

So I would like to know if cholesteatoma is a form of cancer?

No, Cholesteatoma is not a cancer. Although it can grow and cause a lot of

damage in situ, it does not metastasise - i.e. the cells do not migrate to other

areas of the body and start to grow there - and therefore it is not considered

to be a type of cancer.

Hello Erwin,I have and was wondering if any one else did. I had a bartholomew cyst-it is a gland near a female private area that grew a cyst and had to have it removed. Plus I've had cysts on my ovaries, they've burst and they've not chosen to remove them.
