Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is an endemic disease in 98 countries that causes long-term noduloulcerative scars on the skin by Leishmania spp. one of the protozoa parasites. The disease is very common especially in Sanliurfa and Southeast provinces in our country. In recent years, the migration from neighbor countries because of the wars has led to an increase in cases. In this study, a CL case of 14-years old female patient with CL-associated ulcerative lesion on her right axillary cavity region, migrated from Syria and applied to Izmir Katip Celebi University Atatürk Training and Research Hospital is discussed. It was determined that the causative agent was Leishmania tropica subspecies by real-time PCR after diagnosis by aspiration material smear from lesion and NNN cultural method. It is aimed to create awareness among physicians working in non-endemic regions for the patients from CL endemic areas.
