Abstract
Sporotrichoid cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) was diagnosed in a Filipino man who had worked in Saudi Arabia for 2 years. Two primary lesions-one on the forearm and one on the abdomen-were characterized by "satellite" papules and subcutaneous nodules extending proximally in a sporotrichoid pattern. Leishmania organisms were found in both primary lesions and a subcutaneous nodule. There was no evidence of systemic involvement. Recognition that Old World CL may disseminate through lymphatic channels has diagnostic and therapeutic importance.
