Abstract
Disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis is characterized by the appearance of multiple (>Â 10) pleomorphic lesions on two or more noncontiguous areas of the body. Our two patients presented certain features of disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis. However, they were unusual in terms of the strict localisation of nodular lesions to the erysipelas plaque. This particular aspect suggests haemolymphatic dissemination of the protozoan infection from the initial lesion as a result of local factors.
