[First case of multiforme granuloma in Congo].
We report a case of multiform granuloma observed in a young woman of 28 years from Brazzaville, Congo. Extended lesions on the arms, back, face, legs and feet appeared over one month. They consisted of slightly squamous erythemato-oedematous plaques, with polycyclical margins and raised papular borders. The diagnosis was made histologically and recovery was spontaneous over a period of two months. We discuss clinical and histopathological aspects, which can sometimes lead to confusion with Hansen's disease.
