Keratosis obturans and cholesteatoma has been known as two different entities involving ear. As keratin material are found in both of these entities, it poses a great a diagnostic challenge.

We would like to highlight on the possibility of dual pathology in a patient which if overlooked could be detrimental ensuing the possible complications.
