How fast Ctoma grows?

[Guest guest]

Hi folks,

I have had few surgeries on my left ear to remove the Ctoma which were sitting right above/outside the eardrum. My ENT made remark previously that the cavity after mastoidectomy was considered small.

Four months ago, my ENT looked into it and happily told me that it was all clear, eventhough the small polyp was still present. Two months ago he cleaned up some by suction. But last week he told me that the Ctoma already grew into the bone and he need to operate me AGAIN...

All the while I really thought that this Ctoma grows very slow but my conditions seem to contradict. Much appreciations for your comments and sharing of your experience. Also, wonder the extent of grow can be detected/determined by CT or MRI scans??
