“…Mycobacterium leprae has a predilection for neural tissue, and the first evidence of infection is often found in the peripheral nervous system (Talhari et al 2015). • Clinical feature: Leprosy is one of the causes of gynecothelia (enlargement of nipples) which may occur specifically in multibacillary leprosy (Vinay et al 2015; Jaiswal and Subbarao 2012) ( Fig. 59).…”

Conventionally, leprosy has been divided into various spectra of presentation ranging from the tuberculoid to the lepromatous pole, as well as histoid, pure neuritic leprosy and reactional states. This however is an oversimplification as leprosy can present in unusual clinical forms that may obfuscate the diagnosis. Our objective was to highlight unusual clinical presentations of leprosy occurring across all spectra of the disease. Our case series describes eight uncommon presentations of leprosy seen over a period of 10 y from 2011 to 2021, wherein clinical diagnosis followed by a histopathological confirmation of leprosy was performed. These include rare presentations such as psoriasiform plaques, Lazarine leprosy, verrucous plaques and hypertrophic scarring. Many of these rare presentations remain hitherto unreported, such as primary hypogonadism and annular plaques mimicking erythema annulare centrifugum and erythema gyratum repens. Sarcoidosis and syphilis have been labeled as great mimickers in dermatology. The current case series and review is an attempt to highlight a multitude of unusual presentations of leprosy that need a separate mention to make a correct and timely diagnosis and prevent the debilitating sequelae of this otherwise treatable infectious disease.
