“…Different types of morphological variants of CL lesions are presented in Figure 4 a–f and have recently been reviewed in detail [ 158 , 159 ]. The erysipeloid form, a rare variant often leading to late diagnosis, could be present in the form of an erythematous indurated plaque [ 160 ], a small ulcerative and cribriform lesion or a papule with redness and induration [ 161 , 162 ]. The erysipeloid form, in which ulcerative erythematous lesions develop, has been previously reported in Pakistan, Nepal, Iran and Turkey [ 157 , 162 , 163 , 164 , 165 , 166 , 167 , 168 , 169 ].…”
