ABSTRACT
We report on a 30-year-old man that was seen by dermatologist for a routine check of melanocytic nevi. During the examination he pointed out a lesion on his upper back, stating that he did not know how long it had been there. Excision was performed and the histopathologic examination showed a dense granulomatous infiltrate in the dermis without ulceration. It turned out to be cutaneous leishmaniasis, the incidence of which is increasing in our immediate vicinity, and therefore it is important to constantly keep it in mind during everyday work at the clinic.
