Because of its many different manifestations, leprosy can be easily misdiagnosed as syphilis, sarcoidosis, lymphoma, leishmaniasis, and cutaneous tuberculosis1. Since multidrug therapy (MDT), the prevalence of leprosy has decreased to <1 in 10,000. However, there are still newly diagnosed and relapsed cases. We report an unsuspected case of relapsed multibacillary leprosy.  a1013-9087
