摘要：
Leprosy is an infectious disease of prevalence still high in endemic areas in Brazil. The neurological presentation depends on the involved nerve and is usually associated with skin lesions and the formation of multiple abscesses. We present a case of isolated tuberculoid leprosy, discuss the occurrence, the differential diagnosis and the treatment of this rare presentation and reaffirm the importance of considering leprosy in the differential diagnosis of patients with polyneuropathy or nerve enlargement with no skin lesions.
