Abstract
A 21-year-old man had developed a subcutaneous swelling of the right upper arm over 2 years. The clinical impression was that of a neurofibroma. Pathological examination showed that the lesion was tuberculoid leprosy. Pure neural tuberculoid leprosy, unassociated with skin changes, is exceedingly rare. The difficulties encountered in its diagnosis are discussed.Keywords
