Oriental sore: a case report.
We report a typical case of an oriental sore (cutaneous leishmaniasis) in a 28-year-old patient. The lesion was located on the upper lip, causing macrocheilia and an esthetic problem to the patient, who required urgent treatment. N-Methylglucamine antimonate proved to be an effective, well-tolerated drug.
