Abstract

Leishmaniasis is an uncommon condition in Western Europe, except around the Mediterranean coast. However, it may occasionally be seen in the United Kingdom, in patients who acquired the infection in foreign lands. An unusual case of localized cutaneous leishmaniasis recidiva affecting the nose after septal surgery is presented.
