Abstract

ALBRECHT, A; LEBAN, V; GUARDATI, MV  and  IRIBAS, JL. Wade histioid leprosy: A case report. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2018, vol.99, n.1, pp.1-10. ISSN 1851-300X.

Wade's hystioid leprosy is a special clinical-pathological form of multibacillary leprosy, characterized by papular and nodular lepromas that consist of spindle histiocytes. It is a variant of lepromatous leprosy.  Most of the cases have been related to dapsone resistance in the context of longterm monotherapy. De novo cases, not associated with previous anti-leprosy treatment, have been less frequently reported. This article presents the case of 45 years old female, with late diagnosis of histoid leprosy. There will be explained the main features of this particular form of leprosy, its differences with the classic presentation, the differential diagnoses to be considered, and the importance of having this pathology among diagnostic suspicions to begin adecuate treatment.

Keywords : histoid leprosy; lepromatous leprosy; multibacillary leprosy; spindle histiocytes.
