However, the utility of this technique for the diagnosis of granulomatous diseases has only recently been demonstrated.2 Although dermoscopy shows diagnostically useful patterns in infections and inflammatory diseases with granulomatous presentations, the dermoscopic features of leprosy are poorly documented in the literature.
