Abstract EN
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is endemic in certain areas of Iran, and in recent years, there has been an increase in the number of reports for rare and new forms of cutaneous leishmaniasis.
We describe one unusual clinical form of cutaneous leishmaniasis.
In a 27-year-old man, who noted a pimple on the upper eyelid 4 months before.
The lesion was nodular and measured 1 cm × 1 cm in diameter.
A diagnosis of eyelid cutaneous leishmaniasis was made, and treatment was started with intramuscular meglumine antimonate.
He showed a dramatic response, and the lesion almost completely disappeared.
