ABSTRACT
Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Histoid leprosy is considered an uncommon multibacillary form of leprosy characterized by presence of histoid lepromas which present as erythematous round or oval shaped glistening nodules. Most commonly this form of leprosy is seen in patients on irregular therapy with MDT. In this series we report a total of three cases with their clinical, histopathological and dermoscopic findings.
