However, leprosy remains endemic in a number of low-to-middle income countries, and may be imported to non-endemic regions like Malta by migrants.  We report a case of a man from the Philippines  presenting with nodular lesions over the face, trunk and limbs and a hypoaesthetic patch over the arm. A skin biopsy supported the clinical suspicion of midline borderline/borderline  lepromatous  leprosy  and  triple  therapy  with clofazimine,  dapsone  and  rifampicin  was  initiated.  Despite  having  a wide  clinical  differential  diagnosis,  leprosy  must  always  be  kept  in mind  by  clinicians, especially when  treating  nationals  from endemic areas.
