Abstract
We report an 11-year-old girl with a 3-month history of extended cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania major. Oral fluconazole treatment resulted in complete resolution. This result suggests that oral fluconazole might be an alternative to pentavalent antimony in cutaneous lesions of L. major.
