In view of the patient's medical history and current remnants of ulceration involving the other hand she was managed ad as a case of Buruli-like ulcer. To our knowledge, no similar cases with our patient's ulcer-features, whether Buruli ulcer, Buruli-like ulcer of Mycolactone Producing Mycobacterium marinum, were reported in the literature from Palestine and Jordan. We report this case to document an ulcer that looked like Buruli ulcer which was not proved by laboratory hard evidence
