American tegumentary leishmaniasis is a neglected zoonotic disease of public health relevance in Brazil. Objective: To analyze the demographic, clinical, geographic and temporal profile of reported cases in Mato Grosso from 2011 to 2020. Method: Descriptive epidemiological study using data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System. Demographic and clinical variables, annual incidence rates and spatial distribution patterns were analyzed. Results: A total of 23,471 cases were reported, predominantly among males of working age, brown race and low educational level. The cutaneous form was the most frequent. The distribution remained stable over time, with higher rates in the northern and northeastern mesoregions. Conclusion: The epidemiological profile remained stable, characterized by predominance in males, cutaneous form and spatial concentration in northern and northeastern regions.
