In contrast, it is exceedingly rare in Northern Europe, where only sporadic cases are seen. We report a patient with widespread cutaneous<br />
lesions diagnosed as lepromatous leprosy in Sweden. This case underscores the crucial role of healthcare professionals in nonendemic regions to maintain a high index of suspicion for leprosy when evaluating patients from endemic areas who present with unexplained skin lesions or neuropathy.</p>
