Abstract
Tegumentary Leishmaniasis is a disease of tropical origin, epidemiologically in the department of Caaguazú cases are registered. This work aims to demonstrate that from the ulcerated lesions in a primary form, years later the mucocutaneous form develops if it has not been treated correctly, as has happened with a Repatriation patient who reported having developed an ulcer of approximately 8 months to be healed, on the right leg a few decades ago. A sample was taken for pathological anatomy; which yielded the result of the presence of amastigotes infected by Leishmania Braziliensis. Tegumentary leishmaniasis is a flagellated hemoparasite that presents a primary skin lesion where, when not treated, the mucocutaneous form can develop in later years, generating mutilations at the level of the oral cavity and nasal septum.
