Abstract

The Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis (MCL) involving lip is extremely uncommon. A clinical diagnosis of Leishmaniasis of the lips is often challenging to the treating clinician and may result in delayed diagnosis as this case illustrates. MCL should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lip lesions in a Leishmania endemic area.
