A 73-year-old woman presented with progressive, symmetric distal dominant sensory change
followed by motor weakness accompanied with multiple skin lesions. Neurologic examinations and
electrophysiologic study revealed demyelinating polyneuropathy. Diagnosis of leprous neuropathy
was made with skin biopsy. This rare presentation of leprosy indicates leprosy can be considered as
differential diagnosis in patients with clinically evident progressive polyneuropathy.
