Abstract

Abstract Mucocele is an accumulation of secretion products, desquamation, and inflammation within a body cavity: Localization in the mastoid is extremely rare. Erosion of bony walls and invasion of surrounding structures expose a patient to intra‐ and extracranial complications. Proper imaging work‐up and complete removal through mastoidectomy is warranted.
