AB - <p>Eighty-seven leprosy patients with cancer, seen between 1960 to 1984, were studied. Cancer in patients with leprosy occurred in a younger age group compared to the general population. The most common type of malignancy seen among males was squamous cell carcinoma of the lower extremity while in hospital patient population it was cancer of head and neck. Among the females, carcinoma cervix was the most common as in the hospital patients. The types of malignancy occurring among leprosy patients was similar to that of the hospital patient population with the exception of an increase in incidence of squamous cell carcinoma of extremities.</p>
