Tetra-amelia

A rare, non-syndromic, limb reduction defect characterized by the partial or complete absence of all four limbs. Sometimes, other malformations may be associated.

Cholesteatoma

Cholesteatoma is a benign but potentially destructive growth consisting of keratinizing epithelium located in the middle ear and/or mastoid process. In cholesteatoma, a skin cyst grows into the middle ear and mastoid. The cyst is not cancerous but can erode tissue and cause destruction of the ear.
