Cutaneous leishmaniasis mimicking psoriasis: A case report
Scalp lesions associated with psoriasis and cutaneous leishmaniasis can be clinically indistinguishable, leading to misdiagnosis. Herein, we highlight a 70-year-old male initially misdiagnosed with psoriasis but subsequently confirmed to have cutaneous leishmaniasis. This emphasizes the importance of considering alternative diagnoses, especially in atypical presentations, to ensure accurate treatment.
