Cutaneous leishmaniasis mimicking psoriasis: A case report.

Scalp lesions associated with psoriasis and cutaneous leishmaniasis can be clinically indistinguishable, leading to misdiagnosis.

This emphasizes the importance of considering alternative diagnoses, especially in atypical presentations, to ensure accurate treatment.
