| Popis: | The auricle is an extremely rare site for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Old World, which tends to be a benign disease with self-healing small nodules such as the "oriental sore". However, in the New World, there is a type of CL of the ear, named as "chiclero′s ulcer" which is caused by Leishmania mexicana. Herein, we describe a case of massive auricular enlargement due to Old World CL. |
