title: Leprous histiocytoma.
abstract: An apparently healthy male aged 18 years presented with four subcutaneous swellings. He had no history of leprosy and he did not receive any treatment for leprosy. Histological examination of one of the swellings revealed leprous histiocytoma. The histological features of the lesion have been discussed and available literature reviewed.
