Overview
Mastoiditis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause postauricular inflammation or swelling such as lymphadenopathy, periauricular cellulitis, auricle perichondritis, mumps, and mastoid tumors. These diseases may be distinguished from mastoiditis via clinical findings and laboratory testing.
