Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae infection in susceptible individuals. Without proper clinical diagnosis and treatment, leprosy can have a poor prognosis; however, diagnosing leprosy is challenging. We present a case of leprosy with extensive skin infiltration and involvement of the turbinate mucosa and multiple lymph nodes with increased FDG uptake on PET/CT, mimicking malignancy.
