Bone remodeling within the otic capsule has been reported to be inhibited especially at or near the cochlea, except under some pathological conditions such as otosclerosis, Paget's disease, or mastoiditis, when bone remodeling can occur. Microcavitations found in periosteal and endosteal layers of human temporal bone specimens without otosclerosis, Paget's disease, or inflammation as reported in the current study are consistent with osteoclastic bone resorption. Thirty-three temporal bones from 33 patients were prepared for light microscopy and classified into 4 groups: histologically proven dehiscence of the superior semicircular canal (SSCD) (n = 3, group 1), age 20 years or younger (n = 10, group 2), age 90 years or older and with otosclerosis (n = 10, group 3), and age 90 years or older without otosclerosis (n = 10, group 4). Microcavitation was seen at 7 anatomic locations in the temporal bone in all 4 groups, but not in the cochlea or vestibule. Microcavitation within the temporal bone is likely due to osteoclastic activity, and it is seen in both young and old patients, patients with and without otosclerosis, and in cases with SSCD.

Objective: This article summarizes the experience of diagnosis and treatment of temporal bone fibrous dysplasia (FD) with external auditory canal (EAC) stenosis and secondary cholesteatoma in the Chinese population, in order to improve the quality of life of patients in the future. Methods: Eleven patients with FD of the temporal bone who underwent surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Results: All lesions originated from the temporal bone, and all involved of the EAC. There were 11 cases of cholesteatoma in the EAC, 4 cases of cholesteatoma in the middle ear. The most common symptoms were hearing loss (100%), tinnitus (36.4%), and otorrhea (36.4%). Two patients were severe-profound sensorineural hearing loss, and one patient was complicated with subperiosteal abscesses. All 11 patients underwent surgery. There were no perioperative complications in this series and median follow-up time was 4.2 years. Conclusion: Temporal bone FD remains a rare diagnosis, especially in the Asian population. The lesions mainly lead to stenosis of the EAC, especially at the osteochondral junction. Cholesteatoma is the main complication of this disease, which is secondary to occlusion of the EAC with the growth of the lesion. Canaloplasty of EAC combined with wide meatoplasty can provide excellent prognosis in most cases.
