摘要

汉森病（麻风病）可以有无数的表现。麻风病的风湿病表现被认为是继皮肤和神经受累之后第三种最常见的表现。听力受累模拟复发性多软骨炎（RPC）是罕见的汉森病。在这篇文章中，我们描述了一个病例系列的病人汉森氏病提出耳廓软骨炎模拟RPC。虽然在临床上可以区分两者，但应始终通过组织确认来支持诊断，并避免不适当的免疫抑制治疗。

Hansen's Disease Presenting as Perichondritis: A Rare ENT Diagnostic Challenge - Case Series.

Hansen's disease (leprosy) can have a myriad of presentations. The rheumatological presentation of leprosy has been described as the third most common presentation, following skin and nerve involvement. Aural involvement mimicking relapsing polychondritis (RPC) is rare in Hansen's disease. In this article, we describe a case series of patients of Hansens's disease presented with auricular perichondritis mimicking RPC. Although a clinical distinction can be made between the two, one should always support the diagnosis with tissue confirmation and avoid inappropriate immunosuppressive therapy.
