RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:
To report a case of secondary anetoderma in a patient with borderline leprosy and thus draw attention to this unusual association of anetoderma and hanseniasis. CASE REPORT A mixed-race man who was 21 years old was referred to the Ambulatory of Dermatology of Universidade do Estado do Pará, in the City of Belém, Pará State, Brazil, with a diagnosis of borderline leprosy at 10 years old. Years later, the patient developed "scrolling" surface scars, with a diagnosis compatible with anetoderma lesions secondary to Hansen's disease. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS A dermatological affection, although rare, may be associated with common systemic diseases, such as leprosy, and the disclosure of such affections is emphasized in this case. Their investigation and exclusion are necessary when faced with such conditions.(AU)
