A 64-year-old male, with known anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS), which had been diagnosed two years previously, presented to our department with asymptomatic papules over his trunk. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of lepromatous leprosy. We present this as a case of APS, preceding a diagnosis of lepromatous leprosy.
