Histoid Leprosy is an expression of multibacillary leprosy, characterized by typical cutaneous and subcutaneous nodules and plaques present over an apparently normal skin and histopathologically the predominance of spindle-shaped cells or polygonal cells and unusually large number of acid fast bacilli. We report a case of histoid leprosy which was insidious in onset with multiple discrete lesions after release from treatment as a case of Hansen's disease seven years back. Initial FNAC report from a lesion revealed hemangioma which was unusual in presentation. He was later diagnosed clinically and histopathologically as a case of histoid leprosy.
