More than 90% of patients infected with cutaneous leishmaniasis
live in Afghanistan, the Middle East, Algeria, Brazil, and
Peru. Cutaneous leishmaniasis in Iran is caused by Leishmania
tropica and Leishmania major. Most skin lesions evolve
from papular to nodular, to ulcerative form with a central depression
surrounded by a raised indurate border. Some lesions
persist as nodules or plaques. Multiple primary lesions, satellite
lesion, regional adenopathy and sporotrichoid subcutaneous
nodules are variably present. This report presents an 18yr-
old man with sporotrichoid cutaneous leishmaniasis that is
not common in the central Iran.
