Two cases of leprosy are reported, one of which was admitted as a case of acute tonsillitis and was referred only later to the ENT surgeons with hoarseness after a diagnosis had been made by biopsy of the lymph node; the other was referred with a possible facial paralysis. This is a rare diagnosis but it should still be kept in mind, particularly in the immigrant population of the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia and particularly of the Saudis from the southern provinces.
