“…We found only 19 cases of leishmaniasis, with involvement reported exclusively in the oral area in the English-language literature [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], and 6 cases in immunocompromised patients [3,[5][6][7]. These lesions usually appear as erythema and ulceration or as plaque, papules, and/or exophytic nodules, usually affecting the hard or soft palate and tongue.…”

“…These lesions usually appear as erythema and ulceration or as plaque, papules, and/or exophytic nodules, usually affecting the hard or soft palate and tongue. However, they can affect any site such as the lip, uvula, gingiva, tonsil, and retromolar region [5,6,9,11].…”

“…The cutaneous form is the most prevalent and is characterised by the presence of ulcers with a well‐defined erythematous border and a central crust that is often haemorrhagic, located in exposed areas of the body and ranging in number from 1 to 10 2,7 . The mucocutaneous form is the most severe and presents clinically a few years following the manifestation of the cutaneous form, affecting the upper aerodigestive tract, with lesions mainly in the oral and nasal mucosa and occasionally in the laryngeal and pharyngeal mucosa 7–9 . These lesions are generally associated with pain, oedema, a fetid odour, bleeding and sialorrhea 9 .…”

“…The most common clinical presentation is the presence of cutaneous lesions (2). However, about 3–5% of patients infected with Leishmania ( Viannia ) braziliensis progress to mucosal leishmaniasis, which mainly affects nasal, oral and laryngeal mucosae (2–4). They are characterized by difficulties in parasite identification and large tissue destruction (5–7).…”

“…Oral lesions frequently involve the lip and palate, although lesions in the uvula, gingiva, tonsils and tongue are reported. The oral mucosa generally appears swollen, ulcerated with a granular bottom and/or presents ulcerovegetative lesions (2–4). To our knowledge, few studies have investigated the in situ immune response in mucosal leishmaniasis (4,6,8–13), and there are no studies comparing the inflammatory activity between nasal and oral infected or healthy mucosae.…”
