Chronic cutaneous leishmaniasis induced after trauma, mimicking keloidal scar %K chronic leishmaniasis %K Trauma %K keloid %R 10.22034/ijd.2019.98369 %X Leishmaniasis is a common parasitic disease classified to acute and chronic types based on the duration of the disease. The acute lesion is presented as ulcerated papule and nodule that heal after a few months with an atrophic scar. The chronic form of cutaneous leishmaniasis is a nonhealing lesion that is persistent for more than one year.
