A congenital cholesteatoma is a benign mass formed from the keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium. It usually occurs in young children's anterosuperior part of the middle ear. A congenital cholesteatoma which originates from mastoid temporal bone or expands to posterior cranial fossa is rare. Standard treatment of an intracranial cholesteatoma is surgical removal with craniotomy. A 69-year-old woman was diagnosed with a congenital cholesteatoma of mastoid temporal bone that expanded to the posterior cranial fossa, which was successfully treated with transmastoid marsupialization without craniotomy. This is a first documented case of a congenital cholesteatoma of mastoid temporal bone that expanded to posterior cranial fossa, which was successfully treated with transmastoid marsupialization without craniotomy.
