AB - Leprosy has been known since ages but even today, it continues to baffle with a wide range of clinical
presentations which mimics dermatoses like psoriasis, dermatitis, granulomatous disorders etc. These
uncommon presentations present as a diagnostic dilemma and lead to delay in treatment. In such
circumstances, histopathology and slit skin smear comes to the rescue by aiding with accurate and timely
diagnosis. Verrucous lesions are rare in leprosy with sparse literature. We here report a case of 22 years old
female who presented with verrucous nodules over bilateral lower limbs, which on thorough investigation
turned out to be a case of verrucous lepromatous leprosy
