ABSTRACT
A 10 year study of cauliflower growths in trophic ulcers of leprosy patients was done. Seventy five cases were seen, out of which seventy two were in foot and three in hand. Eventhough appearance was like that of malignancy, malignant change was seen only in four cases and in other seventy one cases it was pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia. Various surgical procedures were done. Wide excision appears to be the procedure of choice where feasible as per our studies.
