Background and Objectives: American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL) is a public health concern, and its control remains a challenge in territories with significant social vulnerability. Piauí is one of the most socially vulnerable states in Brazil, and knowing the profile of notifications can serve as support in the implementation of more efficient interventions. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the temporal trend of ATL cases in the state of Piauí between 2007 and 2022. Methods:this is a quantitative and retrospective study, carried out using secondary data on ATL cases notified in the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN)/Ministry of Health/Department of Health and Environmental Surveillance, available in DATASUS. The variables analyzed were year/month of notification, municipality of residence and notification, education, race, sex, age, confirmation criteria, evolution, clinical form and type of entry. Results: 1,407 cases were notified in the state, with an incidence of 3.88 and 2.75 at the beginning and end of the period. There was a predominance of males (61.42%), aged between 40 and 59 years old (33.12%), incomplete elementary school (54.86%) and race/skin color brown (69,08%). The cutaneous form was predominant (90.3%), with 59.4% of cases having a clinical-laboratory diagnosis. Of the total, 58.1% cases progressed to cure. Conclusion: ATL has emerged as a frequently notified condition, posing a significant challenge to local public health, affecting a specific social profile that requires actions at different levels of care, with a positive impact on the prevention and control of the disease in the state.
