The erysipeloid form of cutaneous leishmaniasis is considered as an unusual and rare clinical presentation in Tunisia. Our prospective study on 4 observations, aimed at examining the clinical, histological and progressive features of the "erysipeloid" form of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Our patients were 3 females and one male more than 62 years old. Their cutaneous leishmaniasis was clinically characterised by an infiltrated and extensive plaque which was localised on the face covering the nose and cheeks looking like erysipelas. The treatment was intramuscular meglumine antimoniate (Glucantime) in three cases and metronidazole in one case. A regression without scar was noticed in all the cases. On the histological examination, we observed an intense epidermic and constant hyperplasia with presence of amastigotes in 3 cases. Our study shows the lesional polymorphism of the old word cutaneous leishmaniasis in our region. The "erysipeloid" form of cutaneous leishmaniasis is a rare clinical presentation which generally affects women. If the clinical aspect is very meaningful, the histological aspect is meaningful but not specific.
