Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is the most frequent form of leishmaniasis. The auricle is an extremely rare site for CL in the Old World. Auricular CL may be mistaken for other entities, such as relapsing polychondritis (RP). Here we report a pediatric case of Old World auricular CL mimicking RP in a child successfully treated with intralesional liposomal amphotericin B.
