Cutaneous leishmaniasis with lymphadenopathy due to Leishmania donovani.
We describe a case of cutaneous leishmaniasis with lymphadenopathy due to Leishmania donovani, which was successfully treated with oral miltefosine. Given the increased prevalence of travelling, patients presenting with lymph-node enlargement should have leishmaniasis included in the differential diagnosis even in the absence of typical ulceration.
