Description

Borderline tuberculoid (BT) leprosy: skin This low power view of a skin section shows a typical example of BT. Along neurovascular bundles, at all levels of the skin, there are granulomas with some lymphocytes. The two rounded lesions in the deep dermis are sites of neuritis. H&E stain. Scanty, intraneural acid-fast bacilli (AFB) were seen on Wade-Fite stain.
