Abstract
Abstract: We are presenting a rare case of pure neuritic leprosy presenting as a cold abscess involving the left Ulnar nerve. It was associated with a claw hand deformity.A preoperative diagnosis of a neurofibroma was made but the intraoperative findings were unexpected. Intra-operatively thick cheesy material was seen from the swelling which was adherent to the left Ulnar nerve. On histopathological examination the picture was consistent with that of tuberculoid leprosy.
