Histoid leprosy is a type of multibacillary leprosy that has unique clinical and histological characteristics. Some consider it to be an entity of its own, whereas others view it as a variant of lepromatous leprosy. Histoid leprosy can either occur 'de-novo', or secondarily in patients who relapse after dapsone monotherapy or in the presence of dapsone resistance. Here is a case that presented with clinical features of histoid leprosy but also with classic histologic features of lepromatous leprosy, deeming it very distinctive and unusual.
组织样麻风是一种多菌型麻风，具有独特的临床和组织学特征。一些人认为它是一种独立的疾病实体，而另一些人则将其视为瘤型麻风的一种变体。组织样麻风既可以“原发性”发生，也可继发于接受氨苯砜单药治疗后复发或存在氨苯砜耐药的患者。本文报告一例具有组织样麻风临床特征，但同时具有瘤型麻风典型组织学特征的病例，该病例非常独特且罕见。
