The "racket" lesion is a rare presentation of tuberculoid leprosy, which consists of a thickened nerve branch emerging from a tuberculoid plaque. It results from centripetal damage to cutaneous nerves caused by granuloma formation. We describe a typical case of tuberculoid leprosy presenting as a "racket" lesion. The lesion persisted after treatment with paucibacillary multidrug therapy.
“球拍状”损害是结核样型麻风的一种罕见表现,由结核样斑块发出的增粗神经分支构成。它是由肉芽肿形成导致的皮肤神经向心性损害所致。我们描述了一例表现为“球拍状”损害的典型结核样型麻风病例。该损害在接受少菌型联合化疗后仍持续存在。
