RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Lesson of the month 2: Chronic erythematous painless plaque on the eyelid co-presenting with multiple ulcerated nodules on the extremities JF Clinical Medicine JO Clin Med FD Royal College of Physicians SP 304 OP 306 DO 10.7861/clinmedicine.15-3-304 VO 15 IS 3 A1 Reșat Duman A1 Nilay Duman A1 Güliz Fatma Yavaș A1 Mustafa Doğan A1 Rahmi Duman YR 2015 UL http://www.rcpjournals.org/content/15/3/304.abstract AB Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by the Leishmania species, transmitted by the bite of an infected sandfly. The typical cutaneous lesion is a painless ulcer with a raised, indurated margin and often covered with an adherent crust. The lesions are mostly located on exposed sites such as the face and the extremities. Eyelid involvement is rare, making up only 2–5% of cases with facial cutaneous leishmaniasis. Herein, we report a 50-year-old male who presented with an erythematous plaque on the upper eyelid and multiple ulcerated nodules located on the extremities. Following microscopic examination of the lesional smear, a diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis was made, and the patient was successfully treated with intramuscular meglumine antimonate therapy.
