| Popis: | Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is caused by protozoa of Leishmania genus that are transmitted to humans through the bite of sand flies (Lutzomyia and Phlebotomus). The infection is classically manifested as multiple or single ulcers affecting cutaneous and/or mucosal areas of the body. Atypical lesions are relatively uncommon, being able to simulate a large variety of benign and malign dermatological disorders. In this article, we described a case of CL mimicking a clinical presentation of cutaneous lymphoma. Keywords: Cutaneous leishmaniasis, Lymphoma, Differential diagnosis |
