Abstract
Key Clinical MessageThe findings in the literature, as well as those described in this study, emphasize the need for systematic and longitudinal care for patients with neglected diseases during and after treatment, mainly in low‐middle income countries.AbstractLeprosy is a chronic, granulomatous, mycobacterial infection caused by mycobacterium leprae, affecting the skin and peripheral nervous system. We present a case of a 13‐year‐old child with leprosy for more than a year, indicating decompression of the ulnar nerve. During surgery, an intraneural large caseous granule was evidenced.
