We present a comparative study concerning two cases of tuberculosis cutis luposa and cutaneous leishmaniasis, respectively. These two Turkish female patients had suffered from changes of the facial skin since 20 years (tuberculosis cutis luposa) and for 5 months (cutaneous leishmaniasis). The tuberculosis cutis luposa had been misdiagnosed as cutaneous leishmaniasis and surgically treated. Both cases showed an apple jelly-like color at the edges of the lesions with soft tissue. With tuberculosis cutis luposa, the lesions had a larger extension and a more hyperkeratotic picture. We discuss the different histopathologic changes of both cases. As bacteriologic culture revealed mycobacterium tuberculosis, on one hand, and histopathology leishmania species intrahistiocytically, on the other, we could finally make the corresponding diagnoses.
