Abstract
Background: Leprosy caused by mycobacterium leprae is a chronic granulomatous disease that mainlyaffects peripheral nerves and skin. Depending upon the immune status of the individual it manifests var ious
clinical and pathological forms. Histopathology plays an important role in the diagnosis of clinically suspicious
cases and helps in exact classification of various subtypes and types which therefore helps in deciding the
