Summary We describe a case of cutaneous leishmaniasis with lymphadenopathy due to Leishmania donovani, which was successfully treated with oral miltefosine. Given the increased prevalence of travelling, patients presenting with lymph‐node enlargement should have leishmaniasis included in the differential diagnosis even in the absence of typical ulceration.
