This distinguishes the disease from OME and demonstrated that the two can be distinctly differentiated by CT findings.(2) In blue ear drum cases, the mass having the density of soft tissue disappeared when the patients became free from symptoms.(3) The mass with soft tissue density in the middle ear cavity of blue ear drum varied in location from case to case seemed to represent cholesterol granuloma.
