ABSTRACT
A 59 year-old man developed a large, reddish, well-defined, scaly patch on his submental area 37 years before visiting our department; the patch showed central atrophy and was enlarged. He was erroneously treated for tinea corporis at private clinics for 5 years before the correct clinicopathological diagnosis of tuberculoid-type leprosy was made. We report this case to suggest that dermatologists should play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of leprosy, and that they should pay careful attention while diagnosing new cases of leprosy.
