title: [Tracheal stenosis of inflammatory aspect].
abstract: We report a case of tracheal leishmaniasis with stenosis in a 52 year-old female originative from the Gard region (South of France). The unusual localization acknowledges for the difficulties met in setting the diagnosis which was established through cytological examination of bronchial brushing. Though rare, leishmaniasis infection must be suspected in all cases of mucosal lesions occurring in patients living in endemic areas.
