Case Report: A case of borderline lepromatous leprosy and literature review—key clues to expand clinical diagnostic thinking
We report a case of borderline lepromatous leprosy with generalized swelling as the initial symptom and review and analyze misdiagnosed and rare cases reported in the literature. The aim is to provide clinicians with more diagnostic ideas and reference bases and to promote the further development of leprosy prevention and control work.
