Abstract
In 1963, Wade described Histoid Leprosy, that affected patients previously treated with dapsone. This type of leprosy is characterized by keloid-like lesions, in which spindle histiocytes and a large number of bacilli can be seen in the histopathology. A case of borderline lepromatous leprosy with histoid pattern is described, a true diagnostic challenge, in order to attempt to atypical manifestations of the disease and reinforce the importance of histological confirmation in suspected cases of histoid leprosy.
