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.
ABSTRACT
Oral lesions in patients with pemphigus vulgaris commonly manifest as slowly healing erosions with irregular and ill-defined borders of the buccal mucosa and palate. These lesions may be the initial and sole presentation of pemphigus vulgaris. Herein, we describe a 37-year-old woman suffering from pemphigus vulgaris who had only a solitary crusted erosion on the lower lip persisting for eight months without any progression.
