Apart from vague statements and speculative remarks, the role of ENL in the oral cavity has not been considered in the recent English language literature. A case of oral ENL is reported, and we postulate that ENL plays a prominent role in the intra-oral destruction noted in leprosy. Information gathered from the literature and from our own experience with a series of 37 leprosy patients with oral lesions support this postulation.
