Three horses presenting localized cutaneous lesions were diagnosed with\n                    <jats:italic>L. martiniquensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    infection in different regions of France without spatial or temporal clustering. Lesions were clinically nonspecific and initially compatible with common equine dermatological conditions, including sarcoid-like tumors. Histopathological examination revealed granulomatous dermatitis with intrahistiocytic organisms morphologically consistent with\n                    <jats:italic>Leishmania<\/jats:italic>\n                    amastigotes in all cases.

Direct agglutination test serology was negative in two horses and strongly positive in one. In one case, parasite isolation was achieved in culture. The disease remained localized in all animals, with spontaneous regression in one case, resolution following surgical excision in another, and complete healing after intralesional treatment with meglumine antimoniate in the third.\n
