С учетом локализации образования проводилась транскутанная поднадкостничная орбитотомия с удалением образования и последующим патоморфологическим и иммуногистохимическим исследованием операционного материала. Важность оценки патомофрологической картины опухоли объясняется необходимостью проведения дифференциальной диагностики между холестеатомой и холестериновой гранулемой орбиты, что отражает дальнейший прогноз и тактику наблюдения. Учитывая возможность рецидива, в данном клиническом случае пациент был проинформирован о необходимости регулярных осмотров и выполнения компьютерной томографии орбит для контроля состояния.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>A clinical case of subclinical orbital cholesteatoma is presented, where disease progression was diagnosed using dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) over 14 years. Considering the localization of the lesion, a transcutaneous subperiosteal exploratory orbitotomy was performed, involving the complete removal of tumor masses followed by histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of the surgical material. The importance of assessing the tumor’s histopathological characteristics lies in the need for differential diagnosis between cholesteatoma and cholesterol granuloma of the orbit, which significantly impacts prognosis and followup strategies. Given the risk of recurrence, the patient in this case was informed about the necessity of regular check-ups and orbital computed tomography (CT) for monitoring.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>холестеатома орбиты</kwd><kwd>холестеатома</kwd><kwd>орбитотомия</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>orbital cholesteatoma</kwd><kwd>cholesteatoma</kwd><kwd>orbitotomy</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Cruveilhier J.
