“…La leishmaniose est une maladie parasitaire caractérisée sur le plan clinique par des lésions papulonodulaires qui évoluent le plus souvent vers une ulcération ou une ulcération crouteuse [3,4]. Le caractère clinique de cette lésion observée chez notre patient à type d'ulcération crouteuse est classique de celui des données de la littérature dans leur nombre et leur localisation [5][6][7].…”

A crushing ulcerous lesion of the internal angle of the A crushing ulcerous lesion of the internal angle of the right eye: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is one of the causes right eye: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is one of the causes ABSTRACTNiger is a tropical country where leishmaniasis is endemic. The first case was reported in 1911. Leishmania major is practically the pathogen found in Niger, a country lying between 8° and 20° north latitudes from the Atlantic to the Chadian border. We report a case of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the type of ulcerative lesion, characterized by its localization at the internal angle of the right eye posing a diagnostic problem. The diagnosis of leishmaniasis was made by parasitological examination. Anatomipathologic examination eliminated cutaneous tuberculosis, pyogenic granuloma, molluscum contagiosum and basal cell epithelioma. Metronidazole management has accelerated healing. Thus in a tropical country, in front of any chronic, painless ulcerative lesion and resistant to all therapeutics, the diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis must be evoked, for a consequent management after confirmation.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis, a vector borne protozoan infection of skin manifests as chronic nodulo-ulcerative growth in skin. In Nepal, cutaneous leishmaniasis, the most common form, supposed to be rare is gradually rising as an emerging public health concern. These days, a number of imported and native patients are being reported from different parts of Nepal. Since, it's less endemic here; there is high chance of being treated as other diseases. Here, we report a series of cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis, who presented in the outpatient department of dermatology, TU Teaching Hospital in the year 2015-2016 and was treated with meltifosine.
