Tuberculoid leprosy on hairy scalp: a case report.

چکیده
Scalp is considered to be one of the ' immune zones' in leprosy. The involvement of the scalp in leprosy has been reported, though rarely. In the cases reported so far, the scalp was found to be affected mainly in bacilliferous leprosy and the involvement was mostly on the bald area of the scalp .

متن کاملTransformation of a case of tuberculoid leprosy in reaction to the lepromatous form.
