Cutaneous leishmaniasis is rare in Nepal although visceral leishmaniasis and post-kalazar dermal leishmansis have frequently been reported. Diagnosis is often made in skin biopsy. Fine needle aspiration cytology diagnosis of the disease is a rare event. This was a 33 year male presenting with ulcerated cutaneous nodule at anterior neck. Fine needle aspiration cytology showed granulomatous inflammation with numerous intracellular and extracellular amastigotes. Fine needle aspiration cytology diagnosis of this condition is easy and less time consuming compared to skin biopsy.
皮肤利什曼病在尼泊尔较为罕见，尽管内脏利什曼病和黑热病后皮肤利什曼病常有报道。诊断通常通过皮肤活检进行。该疾病的细针穿刺抽吸细胞学诊断较为罕见。这是一名33岁男性，在前颈部出现溃疡性皮肤结节。细针穿刺抽吸细胞学检查显示为肉芽肿性炎症，伴有大量细胞内和细胞外无鞭毛体。与皮肤活检相比，该疾病的细针穿刺抽吸细胞学诊断简便且耗时较少。
