Canine leishmaniasis is endemic in Corsica. Sporadic cases of visceral leishmaniasis due to Leishmania infantum have been reported in humans, but no case of cutaneous leishmaniasis has been reported to date. In August 1994, a 42-year-old woman living in Orleans (France) presented with two nodular lesions on the face. These lesions appeared two months after a stay near the Gulf of Ajaccio in Corsica. Histopathological examination revealed intracellular amastigotes. The culture isolate was identified as Leishmania infantum zymodeme MON-29. Epidemiological data and climatic conditions prevailing during the patient's stay suggest that contamination took place in Corsica.
