نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a parasitic disease, which is hyperendemic in Isfahan, usually caused by L.major and L.tropica. Herein we report a patient with post-mastectomy lymphedema on right upper limb accompanying with the lesions of cutaneous leishmaniasis on the right and left forearms. Following radiotherapy, the lesions on the limb with lymphedema were disseminated. But the lesions on left side showed no change. This finding may be the result of immune disorder due lymphedema and radiotherapy.
