An unusual presentation of De-novo Histoid leprosy clinically mimicking as neurofibromatosis

Histoid leprosy is a rare and uncommon variant of lepromatous leprosy which generally occurs following resistance to dapsone therapy or relapse after dapsonemonotherapy or multidrug therapy. Rarely, it can occur de novo without any history of treatment. We present one such rare case of de-novohistoid leprosy mimicking neurofibromatosis presented in a 43 year old male.
