  abstract = {<p>In the clinic, the diagnosis of leprosy is often a surprise, as seen in the case report from Olson et al., reported in this issue of the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.1They report the diagnosis of leprosy in a 75-year-old man who presented with a slowly growing erythematous plaque on his thigh, followed by nodular lesions that ulcerated. He lived in the Pacific northwest of the United States and Canada, and had no history of foreign travel or contact with any known case of leprosy. He had a long history of hunting but no contact with armadillos.</p>
