Atypical manifestations are not rare in leprosy and they may present diagnostic challenges. We report a series of five cases having atypical presentations. First case presented with an asymptomatic buccal lesion and later developed skin lesions. Second patient had secondary Anti-phosphospholipidsyndrome (APS) due to leprosy. We also report another interesting case of annular vesiculobullous lesions and erythema nodosumleprosum (ENL) following intake of antibiotics for pneumonia. Other two had exacerbation reactions (ER). Two of these patients were had irregular/incompleteanti-leprosy treatment earlier. These profiles will be of interest to clinicians who may encounter cases with such manifestations.
