  abstract = {<p>It is well known that Mycobacterium leprae tends to target the cooler parts of the body and can involve the oral cavity. Despite this, macrocheilia - a condition where the lips become enlarged - caused by leprosy is rarely documented. There are few reported cases of leprous macrocheilia in India. We present a unique case of an elderly woman with borderline tuberculoid leprosy in type I reaction who developed leprous macrocheilia.</p>
