ABSTRACT
A 32-year-old male patient presented with multiple, asymptomatic, papulonodular lesions some of which were umbilicated simulating the clinical features of molluscum contagiosum. On examination the patient was found to be suffering from lepromatous leprosy. Slit-skin smear showed a BI of 6+ and histopathological examination of the nodular lesion showed features of lepromatous leprosy. The patient was treated with MDT-MB and improved remarkably in a few months.
