摘要：

We report about a 19-year-old Turkish patient who presented with cutaneous leishmaniasis after a holiday in Turkey. Cutaneous leishmaniasis often heals spontaneously leading to life-long immunity, but it can persist and lead to extensive scarring. In the literature, many therapeutic modalities have been reported; however, they can be accompanied by severe side effects. In our patient, photodynamic therapy resulted in healing of the lesion with only slight hypopigmentation.
