Ulcerative post-kala azar mucosal leishmaniasis masquerading as a carcinoma--a case report. Indian Journal of Pathology & Microbiology. 2003 Jul; 46(3): 487-9http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/75899Post kala-azar mucosal leishmaniasis (PKML) is relatively rare in the Indian subcontinent. We describe an ulcerative variant of PKML with nasal involvement in a Nepalese adult male. He had ulcerated plaque over the upper lip with extensive involvement of nasal columella and septum. He came from endemic area for kala-azar and had a previous history of kala-azar. There were plenty of LD bodies in microsections and FNA of submandibular lymph node.engAdultAnimalsDiagnosis, DifferentialHumansLeishmania donovani --isolation & purificationLeishmaniasis, Mucocutaneous --diagnosisLeishmaniasis, Visceral --complicationsMaleNepalNose Neoplasms --diagnosisUlcer --pathologyCase Reports
