Abstract
This case aims to characterize an unusual cutaneous manifestation in a patient with confirmed cutaneous leishmaniasis, highlighting clinical features that are often underrecognized and may contribute to diagnostic uncertainty. By exploring this atypical presentation, it underscores the potential for misdiagnosis and its implications for patient management. Additionally, it emphasizes the broad spectrum of cutaneous lesions that can mimic Old World cutaneous leishmaniasis, further increasing the risk of diagnostic error.
