Abstract
Ten children with histiocytosis X and recurrent otitis media as a presenting symptom were compared to children with otitis media complicating cholesteatoma. When radiography and biopsy findings were not diagnostic a low age (less than 3 years) and a remaining elevated ESR were characters that most effectively separated the histiocytosis X group from the cholesteatoma group.
