About this work

Description

Borderline tuberculoid (BT) leprosy: skin This image shows a skin section from a person with BT. In this low power microscopic view, several deep dermal nerves are massively enlarged by granulomatous infiltrate. These nerves are surrounded by dense cuffs of dark-staining lymphocytes. H&E stain. This is the typical appearance of granulomatous inflammation throughout the dermis.
