A 28-year-old married female developed histoid papules and nodules de
novo over her face, extremities, back, buttocks and thighs. She had
developed erythema nodosum leprosum lesions without any antileprosy
treatment. Histopathology from a histoid nodule showed well defined
nodular collections of plump, spindle-shaped histiocytes. A few globi
were also seen with Ziehl Neelson staining. Leucocytoclastic vasculitis
was present in the ENL lesion. The CD4:CD8 ratio was 1.5:1.
