Abstract

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is an infection caused by protozoa from the genus Leishmania. The disease is transmitted by sandflies. Reservoirs are dogs, mice, wild rodents and, more rarely, humans. CL is clinically characterized by a single, polymorphous lesion, usually localized on the face or limbs. Nowadays, CL is more frequently seen among travellers returning from tropical and subtropical countries (1). Cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia (CLH), also known as pseudolymphoma, is a reactive proliferation, probably secondary to persistent antigenic stimulation. We present here a case of CLH associated with L. panamensis infection.
