A 44-year-old Malay gentleman was seen at the polyclinic on the advice of a medical social worker. He was noted to have coarse facies, extensive skin peeling, and nail deformities in all 4 limbs. He was suspected to have leprosy and referred to the National Skin Centre (NSC) which confirmed the diagnosis of Lepromatous Leprosy by histology. He has shown good progress since starting on a course of treatment. A brief review is presented here as a reminder of the challenges faced in the care of a condition largely forgotten in our highly urbanised setting: Hansen’s disease.
