title: Laparoscopic aspects of lepromatous leprosy.
abstract: The authors performed laparoscopy on eight patients (six females and two males) with lepromatous leprosy. The findings show that goose flesh hepatomegaly (100% of the cases), and red or gray splenomegaly (75% of the cases) can be considered as laparoscopic hallmarks of lepromatous leprosy.
