Is cholesteatoma otitis media a tumor?

The disease is not a true tumor and is essentially a growth of squamous epithelial tissue in the middle ear and mastoid process. However, because the disease can destroy bone and may cause serious complications, surgical treatment should be considered after diagnosis.
