ABSTRACT
The leishmaniases are parasitic infections with various clinical manifestations and great geographical distribution. Mucosal leishmaniasis [ML] is an important problem in Latin America but is rarely encountered in Iran. There has been a report of the involvement of mucosal tissues with L. major and/ or L. tropica in the Southwest of Iran. In this report, we describe 3 rare clinical presentations of mucosal leishmaniasis, which were treated with meglumine antimoniate [Glucantime]. No evidence of recurrence was noted after several years of follow-up
