Co-existence of lepromatous leprosy and subcutaneous sarcoidosis: A rare paradoxical association?

Abstract

Lepromatous leprosy and sarcoidosis have varied clinical manifestations. These two diseases are sometimes mistaken for each other in their clinical, histopathological and laboratory parameters, but their coexistence is seemingly quite rare and paradoxical. We present a 40-year-old female with newly diagnosed lepromatous leprosy and subcutaneous sarcoidosis.
