ABSTRACT
A 30 year-old farmer presented himself with mild degree fever, joint pain and multiple ulcers of 15 days' duration. Ulcers were multiple, well-defined, irregular in shape with necrotic base and elevated, sloppy margins over anus, forearms, wrists, buttocks, lower half of thighs and shins. A few of the ulcers were covered with black-coloured scab. They were tender and with serosanguinous discharge. Black atrophic scars and ill-defined, irregular, brown black-pigmented macules of various sizes were present over thighs and legs. Excision biopsy of the ulcer showed features of erythema nodosum leprosum. The patient was treated with systemic corticosteroids.
