To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of BCCLT in the UK. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Melissa McDonnell, Asif Hasan, Malcolm Brodlie, Christopher O'Brien, David Spencer, Dubhfeasa Slattery, Jim Egan, Richard Kirk, Jim LordanNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
