Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) may appear at unusual sites or present with atypical morphologies. The lip is considered one of the unusual sites and a fissure of the lower lip is an atypical morphology that has not been described in CL. We report two cases of CL who presented as cutaneous fissures (on lower lip in one patient and dorsum of finger in another). They were diagnosed by demonstrating leishmania parasites in skin smear preparations and were treated accordingly.
皮肤利什曼病(CL)可能出现在不寻常的部位或呈现非典型形态。唇部被认为是不寻常的部位之一,而下唇裂隙是CL中尚未见描述的一种非典型形态。我们报告了2例表现为皮肤裂隙的CL病例(1例在下唇,另1例在手指背)。通过在皮肤涂片制剂中发现利什曼原虫进行诊断,并据此进行治疗。
