ABSTRACT
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a protozoan disease caused by leishmanias, which results in deformations of the skin. Cutaneous leishmaniasis is endemic in the southeastern parts of Turkey. Cutaneous leishmaniasis is the most common form and is often observed in open regions of the body. Involvement of the penis was rarely reported. In this paper, we present a case of a giant hyperkeratotic form of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the glans penis. (Turkiye Parazitol Derg 2013; 37: 53-4)
