摘要

This study presents the case of a 54-year-old woman, otherwise healthy, who presented with a 4-month history of red plaques with central ulceration, which had initially developed from painless papules. The lesions appeared on her right arm and trunk, two months after her travel to Morocco. Physical examination revealed a 7 cm × 5 cm red plaque with central ulceration and crusting on her right arm, along with papules and plaques on her trunk. Based on microbiological, histopathological, and PCR results, the patient was diagnosed with Old World cutaneous leishmaniasis. After receiving two sessions of intralesional pentavalent antimonial treatment, the patient was left with only a minor scar and experienced negligible side effects, except for moderate aching during therapy.
