Here, we present a case of Hansen's disease with an erythematous dermal nodule mimicking xanthogranuloma clinically. In our scenario, since leprosy is considered eliminated in India, the presentation of patients with classical signs and symptoms is becoming rare. Atypical manifestation of leprosy is increasing day by day, so it is necessary to have a high suspicion of leprosy in every case.</p>
