RESUMEN
Fine-needle aspiration cytology is now routinely used in the diagnosis of cervical lumps. We report on a case of leprous neuritis which presented as a cervical swelling. A diagnosis of leprosy was suggested on the basis of globi within histiocytes. These histiocytes differed from those classically described in leprosy. Retrospective review demonstrated the presence of occasional nerve fragments, and some of these closely resembled granulomas. The possible close resemblance of this lesion to tuberculosis and a histiocytic proliferative disorder is highlighted. Recognition of nerve fragments along with histiocytes should suggest the diagnosis.
