%X lacaziosis is a chronic skin infectious disease caused by the fungus lacazia loboi, which usually results in indolent cutaneous keloid-like lesions. it was first described by jorge lobo, in 1931, in a patient from the amazon region. we report a case of lacaziosis, manifested by an erythematous infiltrated plaque, causing misdiagnosis with paucibacillary leprosy, since both diseases are endemic in amazon basin.
