dc.description.abstractABSTRACT We report two cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis in natives of central region of Nepal. The first patient in our series, an adult female, presented with a small nodule on the philtrum of upper lip and the second case, a male child, presented with two crusted plaques on forehead. The final diagnosis was based on histopathological findings; however, species characterization was not possible because of its unavailability in the country. These patients responded well to the treatment with Miltefosine (First case) and Fluconazole (second case). Moreover, these cases sparks a question about the origin of diseases in this region and calls for further research in future to find out the cause and prevalence of this disease in Nepal. This case report also emphasizes to consider cutaneous leishmaniasis as differential diagnosis for granulomatous presentations in our context.
