Abstract:

Histopathological findings are unique, epidermis may be normal or atrophic with a Grenz zone. The leproma consists of fusiform histiocytes arranged in a whorled, criss-cross, or storiform pattern. 5 Within the histiocytes, plenty of acid fast bacillus can be found. They are longer than the normal bacilli, are uniform in length and are arranged in para llel bundles along the long axis of the spindle histiocytes with or without globus formation. 3 In addition the factor XIIIa positive is characteristic and the loss of S100 expression. 10 It has been treated on the lines of multibacillary leprosy with the recommended WHO MDT. 3 Researchers have also managed initially by giving the range of motion therapy, with rifampicin 600 mg, ofloxacin 400 mg, and minocycline 200 mg, which is followed by MDT. 8 To conclude, it is important to recognize atypical leprosy presentations to continue the surveillance for new cases, since early diagnosis and complete treatment are important to achieve our goal of eliminating leprosy. Furthermore, continuous medical follow-up must be done after a multidrug therapy in order to detect these rare variants.
