description Histoid leprosy is considered a rare form of lepromatous leprosy. Its peculiar clinical picture makes its diagnosis a challenging one, which can delay starting treatment and perpetuate the disease as endemic.

This is a report of a typical case of this rare presentation, aiming to share the knowledge and favor earlier diagnosis of the disease.
