Medical Center Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

 

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.
