This is an uncommon form of leishmaniasis reported principally from Brazil, Venezuela, Guyana and Colombia and is associated with L. braziliensis, L. panamensis or L. guayanensis infection. It is defined by the presence of at least ten circumscribed foci of cutaneous leishmaniasis in more than one body surface region. In contrast to diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis, in which there is anergy to Leishmania, the leishmanin test is positive in most cases, very few parasites are seen on biopsy and the infection may thus respond to appropriate chemotherapy.
