title: Midfacial leprosy.
abstract: Leprosy is a chronic bacterial disease that has many clinical presentations. We are reporting a patient who presented with an erythematous plaque over the nose, which was proved to be due to leprosy. We think that this type of clinical feature is not a common presentation for leprosy.
