A Retrospective Study of the Histopathological Spectrum of Erythema Nodosum Leprosum
ENL is characterized by dermal infiltrates composed of foamy histiocytes and neutrophils in varying proportions arrayed in different dermal patterns. Extension of dermal infiltrates into the subcutis was frequent but absent in some. Predominant or exclusive involvement of the subcutis was rare. Vasculitis was noted in a small minority, while AFB were demonstrated in about a quarter of cases.
