Clinical features of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) are characterized by a very significant polymorphism making its diagnosis a real challenge for healthcare professionals. Herpes-zoster-like or zosteriform leishmaniasis is exceptional and often misdiagnosed atypical/unusual presentation of CL. Its prevalence is estimated at 0.14-0.17% of all CL and 2.4% of atypical CL, and is often reported as sporadic clinical cases. We present an original case of zosteriform CL at the elbow, in a young immunocompetent Tunisian woman.

Vesiculobullous lesions can be developed by less than 5% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Among these lesions, bullous systemic lupus erythematosus (BSLE) is one of the rarest and most challenging cutaneous presentations of the disease. Its frequency in the largest series of 5149 patients with cutaneous lupus was 0.19%, and the majority of cases are reported as sporadic observation or small series not exceeding ten cases. We report the original observation of BSLE revealing SLE in 32-year-old Tunisian Woman. This atypical presentation of cutaneous lupus deserves to be known by clinicians and discussed in front of any bullous dermatosis, particularly in young woman.
