Diagnosis and treatment of leishmaniasis are challenging in immunosuppressed patients. Here, we report a 46-year-old male renal transplant recipient with disseminated cutaneous leishmaniasis presenting with multiple lesions on the face and upper extremities 15 years after transplant with a challenging course of treatment with meglumine antimoniate, liposomal amphotericin B, and miltefosine.
