Erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) or Type-2 lepra reaction is a manifestation of type-III hypersensitivity response, and usually occurs in certain cases of lepromatous and borderline lepromatous leprosy. ENL may present as widespread crops of erythematous, inflamed nodules and papules. Rare variants of ENL mimicking pemphigus or Sweet's syndrome (SS) have been documented. Here, we report an unusual case of persistent ENL in a 52-year-old lady, which we could diagnose with the help of skin biopsy and histopathological examination.
结节性红斑型麻风（ENL）或2型麻风反应是III型超敏反应的一种表现，通常发生在某些瘤型和界线类偏瘤型麻风病例中。ENL可能表现为广泛分布的红斑、炎性结节和丘疹。已有文献记载ENL的罕见变体可模仿天疱疮或Sweet综合征（SS）。在此，我们报告一例52岁女性持续性ENL的罕见病例，我们通过皮肤活检和组织病理学检查得以确诊。
