What is tuberculoid leprosy?
Benign form of leprosy that is mild and sometimes self-limiting disease in a person with intact cell-mediated immunity. Usually only one or two hypopigmented, hairless macular skin lesions with diminished sensation. Enlarged nerves near the skin may be palpable (greater auricular, ulnar, posterior tibial, peroneal). In contrast to lepromatous leprosy, there is usually asymmetric nerve involvement. In tuberculoid leprosy biopsies of lesions may show small numbers of organisms and vigorous granuloma formation.
