“…Initially, we did not include CL in differential diagnosis of the lesions. But, panniculitis in a granulomatous pattern pointed to the possibility of CL in spite of the histopathologic diagnosis as nodular vasculitis because the patient had lived in the Adana region of Turkey which is endemic for CL 5 . In general, leishmania smear test is the first step for diagnosis of CL in our region.…”

Apart from its usual appearance, CL may show clinical manifestations such as erysipelas, eczema, sporotrichosis, lupus vulgaris, or psoriasis, which may lead to diagnostic difficulties.…”
