Macrocheilia Revealing Lepromatous Leprosy: A Case Report

Lepromatous leprosy is a multibacillary form characterized by diffuse cutaneous and mucosal involvement. Isolated lip involvement presenting as macrocheilia is rare and may represent a diagnostic challenge. We report a case of progressive macrocheilia revealing lepromatous leprosy, confirmed by histopathology and bacteriology. This case highlights the importance of considering leprosy in chronic macrocheilia, especially in endemic areas.
