<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>Leprosy is a chronic, granulomatous, mycobacterial infection caused by mycobacterium leprae, affecting the skin and peripheral nervous system. We present a case of a 13-year-old child with leprosy for more than a year, indicating decompression of the ulnar nerve. During surgery, an intraneural large caseous granule was evidenced.</p>
