AB - <p>Nasal mucosal involvement is a constant feature in lepromatous leprosy (1). Granulomatous infiltration of nasal mucosa and consequent sensory loss may result in atrophic rhinitis and or painless ulceration, which is usually asymptomatic except for later complications of epistaxis, septal perforation, inflammation, and/or myiasis in long neglected patients. An unusual destruction of nasal architecture mimicking cancrum oris caused by myiasis in lepromatous leprosy is described for its rarity.</p>
