American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis (ATL) is caused by protozoa belonging to the Leishmania genus and represents an important public health problem. The aim of this study was to analyze the spatial distribution and to characterize the epidemiological profile of ATL in the municipality of Imb de Minas using spatial analysis tools and information obtained from data collected at the Municipal Epidemiology Service as a methodology. The results presented showed that the incidence of ATL in the municipality of Imb de Minas has been increasing since 2015 and doubling in 2018, with the majority of those affected, men, living in the rural area, with low education and aged between 30 and 59 years. The 46 registered cases had cutaneous lesions, mostly diagnosed by direct parasitological examination. The drug most used in the treatment was Pentavalent Antimonial. Almost all cases are found in the north and northwest regions of the municipality. It is suggested to the municipal authorities to adopt preventive measures aimed at the population, such as the use of repellents and environmental management, vector control measures, reservoirs and health education activities, in addition to improving the flow of ATL notification in the municipality
