Nasal Leishmaniasis Misdiagnosed With Intranasal Polyp in a Patient Candidate for Rhinoplasty.

Mucosal leishmaniasis (ML) is a chronic and rare form of leishmaniasis that causes malignant lesions in the mucosa of the nasal, pharyngeal, and laryngeal regions. We describe a 29-year-old woman who had been suffering from an intranasal polyp for 3 years. The polyp recurred annually after surgical removal, and was diagnosed as nasal leishmaniasis. © The Author(s) 2023.
