The most common atypical lesions were lupoid 21 (9.8%), erysipeloid 16 (7.5%), impetiginous 16 (7.5%), recidivan 15 (7%), eczematous 15 (7%), ecthyma-like 13 (6.1%), pyoderma gangrenous-like 12 (5.6%), and sporotrichoid 12 (5.6%). Other lesions with atypical clinical presentations: chalazion-like, verrucous, dental sinus-like, psoriasiform, zosteriform, lymphoma-like, juvenile xanthogranuloma-like, volcano-like, paronychial, basal cell carcinoma-like, squamous cell carcinoma-like, herpes labialis-like, keratoacanthoma-like, chancriform, annular, lichenoid, mastocitoma-like, keloidal, epidermoid cyst-like, kaposi sarcoma-like, scar leishmaniasis, granulomatous cheilitis-like, mycetoma-like, molluscum contagiosum-like, discoid lupus erythematosus-like, and dermatofibroma-like.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In addition to the atypical clinical presentations previously reported, we also defined dermatofibroma-like, Kaposi sarcoma-like, dental sinus-like, juvenile xanthogranuloma-like, mastocytoma-like, and epidermoid cyst-like.
