We present the case of a patient thirty seven years old who has angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, diagnosis confirmed by histopathological examination, localized in ear's pavilion, ear's outer duct and beyond the ear. She has received intralesional injections of corticoid (because of a possible misdiagnosis). This provoked the appearance of a pyogenous process with a profuse, purulent and fetid secretion (Staphylococcus aureus) resistant to many antibiotics which was finally controlled with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. We controlled the disease with radiotherapy applications and afterwards partial cryosurgery.
