Summary: Due to the worldwide importance of this theme, we present a case of American cutaneous leishmaniasis in a 65-year- -old patient with restricted skin involvement, despite its long evolution (> 3 years). It was a difficult case to diagnose due to the atypical clinical presentation (large ulcer) and inconclusive histopathological study in the initial biopsies.

Trata-se de um caso de difícil diagnóstico pela apresentação clínica atípica (úlcera de grandes dimensões) e estudo histopatológico inconclusivo nas biópsias iniciais. A terceira biópsia com observação cuidada e com auxilio de estudo imunohistoquímico permitiram o diagnóstico correcto e cura após 30 administrações ev de antimoniato de N-metilglucamina.Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia2018-05-29T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.76.2.838oai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/838Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology; Vol 76 No 2 (2018): April - June; 177-180Revista da Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia; v. 76 n. 2 (2018): Abril - Junho; 177-1802182-24092182-2395reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/838https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.76.2.838https://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/838/567De Dominicis, Charles NameRegina Ferreira, Fláviade Oliveira Rabay, Fátima MariaMandelbaum, Samuel Henriqueinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-10-06T12:35:05Zoai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/838Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:31:18.747120Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
