Abstract
Atypical presentations of leprosy can delay diagnosis. We report a case of coexistence of borderline tuberculoid (BT) leprosy with pigmented purpuric dermatoses (PPD). The coexistence may be due to locus minoris resistentiae resulting from autonomic nerve damage leading to vasodilation and red blood cell extravasation.
