Tracheal mucosal localization of Leishmania is considered a rare and dangerous event. A single case of leishmaniasis of the trachea has been described in literature. Our work describes multidetector computed tomography features of leishmaniasis localized in the tracheal mucosa that occurred in a 68-year-old patient who lived in an endemic zone. Our patient underwent biopsy that established the diagnosis of leishmaniasis.

Abstract

Tracheal mucosal localization of Leishmania is considered a rare and dangerous event. A single case of leishmaniasis of the trachea has been described in literature. Our work describes multidetector computed tomography features of leishmaniasis localized in the tracheal mucosa that occurred in a 68-year-old patient who lived in an endemic zone. Our patient underwent biopsy that established the diagnosis of leishmaniasis.
