Abstract

The classical morphological presentation of borderline tuberculoid leprosy is hypopigmented, anaesthetic/hypoaesthetic patch with regular to irregular border, pseudopodia-like extension and has satellite lesions. The patches are of large size and can be up to 20 cm. Though the number of skin lesions is less in number, the patients are prone for type 1 lepra reaction and neuritis. In the present chapter, we are describing a classical case of borderline tuberculoid leprosy without any lepra reaction and disability.KeywordsBorderline tuberculoid leprosySatellite lesionIchthyosisAnaesthesiaAsymmetryNeuritis
