Abstract: The histopathological study of leprosy is crucial for understanding the disease, its types, and its varied manifestations and complications, as clinical diagnosis alone is often insufficient. This study aimed to evaluate suspected cases of leprosy at a tertiary care hospital, classifying them and observing associated morphological changes. Conducted at JJ Hospital, Mumbai, over ten months, the study analyzed 80 skin biopsies from suspected leprosy patients. The findings included a higher prevalence in males 78.75, with the most common age group being 21-40 years. Borderline Tuberculoid Leprosy was the most frequently diagnosed type. Histopathological examination proved vital in confirming the exact subtype of leprosy, thereby facilitating accurate therapy.
