Lucio’s leprosy, a non-nodular form of lepromatous leprosy, appears as uniform diffuse shiny infiltration of the entire skin. Lucio’s Phenomenon, described by Lucio and Alvarado andreported mainly in Mexico and South America, is an rare unusual ulcerative immune complex mediated vasculitis occurring in patients of non-nodular form of leprosy. Here we report a case of Lucio’s phenomenon in a 65 ...
