RESUMO
Although rare in occidental countries, leprosy is an endemic disease throughout the world. Physicians may encounter imported cases and thus need to be aware of this diagnosis. We here report a 41-year-old male patient from French West Indies who presented with nonspecific extensive skin lesions and a peripheral neuropathy. Skin biopsy examination led to the diagnosis of borderline lepromatous leprosy.
