We studied bone lesion alterations in three patients with diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis (DCL) by imaging exams (radiography and scintigraphy) and histopathology. Two patients had bone lesions of distal extremities of hands and feet, and one infiltrating plaques in the skin. The study was conducted at three specialized centers (Presidente Dutra Hospital/Nucleus of Tropical Pathology, UFMA-MA; Gonçalo Moniz Research Center-FIOCRUZ-BA; Laboratory of Pathology of Infectious Diseases (LIM-50), University of São Paulo, SP)...
