Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous disease affecting the skin and peripheral nervous system. Because of its variable manifestations, leprosy can be misdiagnosed as syphilis, sarcoidosis, psoriasis and eczema. A 73 year-old man showed erythematous papules on his arms and legs. He had been erroneously treated as eczema before the correct clinicopathological diagnosis of borderline lepromatous leprosy was made. We report this case to suggest that dermatologists should pay careful attention while diagnosing new cases of leprosy.

Key Words: Borderline lepromatous leprosy, Chronic eczema
