Caption:
From a left lateral perspective, the nose of this patient exhibited cutaneous changes, which after a complete differential diagnostic study, proved to be lepromatous leprosy. The skin surface had been transformed into reddish-brown nodules atop the left ala, and it appeared that the disease process included the left nare and nasal vestibule. Leprosy is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae.
