  • S M Keh, J P Vestey, D HO-Yen, A J Cain
  • Journal:
    The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 126 / Issue 11 / November 2012
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    21 August 2012, pp. 1176-1178
    Print publication:
    November 2012
  • Objective:

    This case report aims to raise awareness amongst clinicians of ear presentation of cutaneous borrelia.

    Case report:

    We report a recent case of borrelia lymphocytoma cutis benigna in a child presenting with unilateral earlobe swelling, who was otherwise well. A review of the English language literature, including management of the disease, is also presented.

    Conclusion:

    This case highlights the fact that borrelia lymphocytoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of a persistent, unilateral, inflamed, swollen earlobe in an otherwise healthy child.

  • Journal:
    The Journal of Laryngology & Otology / Volume 124 / Issue 7 / July 2010
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:

  • Objective:

    We report a typical case of earlobe lymphocytoma.

    Method:

    A case report and literature review are presented.

    Results:

    A 10-year-old girl presented with a blue-coloured earlobe. A diagnosis of Lyme disease was confirmed by serological tests. Lyme borreliosis is the most common tick-borne disease in the northern hemisphere. It is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. The patient was successfully treated with antibiotics.

    Conclusion:

    The diagnostic process and ENT symptomatology of Lyme disease and borrelial lymphocytoma are summarised and discussed.
