Is Cholesteatoma contagious?

No, cholesteatoma is not contagious. Cholesteatoma is a non-cancerous growth of skin cells that can develop in the middle ear behind the eardrum. It is typically caused by repeated infections or a blockage of the Eustachian tube, which leads to the accumulation of skin cells and debris in the middle ear. Cholesteatoma is not caused by a virus, bacteria, or any infectious agent, so it cannot be transmitted from one person to another. It is a condition that usually develops due to factors such as anatomy, chronic ear infections, or previous ear surgeries. If you suspect you have a cholesteatoma or have concerns about your ears, it is best to consult with a medical professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
