The lesions occur in crops and regress on their own. Clinical and histopathological examination differentiates this condition from other histiocytoses and from the more common disease leprosy, which it mimics closely. We describe a case of GEH in an adult female with clinical features simulating that of histoid leprosy. This case highlights the need for proper evaluation of all patients of leprosy for correct diagnosis and management.</p>
