ABSTRACT
El linfoma anaplásico de células grandes es una patología rara en la infancia. La localización más frecuente es en la piel y nódulos linfáticos, siendo infrecuente la afectación del pabellón auricular. Presentamos el caso de un niño de 6 años con tumoración en el lóbulo de la oreja. Se realizó tratamiento quirúrgico y el resultado de la anatomía patológica mostró linfoma anaplásico de células grandes. Los estudios radiológicos fueron negativos y no hubo afectación sistémica (AU)
Anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma is a very rare disease in childhood. The most common locations are lymph nodes and skin, while the external ear location is uncommon. We present the case of a 6-year-old child with an earlobe tumour. Surgical treatment was performed and the anatomopathological results showed anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Radiological tests were negative and there was no systemic involvement (AU)
