[AIDS and lymphoma of the ear].
The authors describe the circumstances for detection of an AIDS lymphomatous complication revealed by an otological picture in one patient. The lymphomatous pathology not related to HIV is reviewed. The particularity of these lymphomas, when they are related to HIV, is their frequent initial extra-ganglionic location, their high grade histological type and their poor prognosis. The authors emphasize the need to perform a biopsy rapidly when confronted with any external otitis resistant to general and local treatments.
