Abstract
We report a case of gastric localization of Leishmania in a 29-year old man affected by AIDS. Gastric biopsies revealed macrophages infected with intracytoplasmic organisms attributable to Leishmania amastigotes. The authors emphasize the importance of performing random biopsies in the absence of endoscopic abnormalities.
