Cutaneous leishmaniasis should be considered a possible cause of skin ulcers in a patient who has traveled abroad recently and comes to the emergency department (ED) for an assessment. Before getting an accurate diagnosis, ED assessment, and proper treatment with intravenous amphotericin B, the patient presented to several other healthcare providers. This case displays the importance of a multidisciplinary approach with consultation from infectious diseases to determine an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan for patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis.
