Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Leprosy can present with unusual neurological complications.
  • Giant abscesses involving the ulnar nerve are rare manifestations of leprosy.
  • These lesions may be misdiagnosed as peripheral nerve tumors, especially in non-endemic areas.
