Abstract:
Tropical disease may not figure highly in the differential diagnosis of a facial swelling in the United Kingdom but should be considered in those who have been in a tropical area. This case history documents details of the presentation and investigation of a case of leishmaniasis that appeared as a facial swelling in a 4-year-old boy who had recently returned from the Middle East.
