Background Cholesteatoma-related bone destruction is the cause of many complications due to chronic otitis media. This study aimed to evaluate osteoclastic activity in cholesteatoma-related bone destruction using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b, an enzyme specific to osteoclastic activity. Method Seventy-two patients diagnosed with chronic otitis media were included in this study and were divided into two groups: with and without bone destruction. The blood serum and tissue tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b levels from both groups were compared. Results There were no significant differences in the level of serum enzymes between both groups. However, in tissue samples, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b levels were significantly lower in the bone destruction group than the group without bone destruction. Conclusion This study determined that the level of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b, a specific enzyme for osteoclastic activity in cholesteatoma-related bone destruction, is locally decreased. This data suggests that osteoclastic activity may decrease in cholesteatoma-related bone destruction. However, further experimental and clinical studies are required to clarify this highly complex mechanism.
