Although dapsone is a fundamental component of MDT, it presents risks of adverse drug reactions (ADR), including the potentially fatal dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Consequently, we conducted a retrospective observational study by reviewing the records of patients registered at the leprosy clinic within the department of dermatology at a tertiary care center from 2010 to 2022. We included all patients who experienced ADR due to dapsone that necessitated its discontinuation, with particular emphasis on those who developed DHS.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among 1598 leprosy patients treated with standard WHO-MDT, 45 patients developed ADR requiring cessation of dapsone (2.82% over 12 years). The most common ADR was abnormal liver function tests in 14 patients (0.87%) and anemia in 13 patients (0.81%), including one case each of hemolytic anemia and methemoglobinemia. Neuropsychiatric adverse effects were observed in five patients (0.31%). The incidence of DHS was 0.75% (12 patients), with maculopapular rash being the most frequent cutaneous manifestation. These patients were subsequently treated with MDT without dapsone, along with standard care for the ADR, resulting in no mortality or serious morbidity.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>While dapsone remains a cornerstone in the treatment of leprosy, the potential for clinically significant though infrequent adverse reactions highlights the need for vigilant monitoring and increased awareness among healthcare providers of the diverse manifestations of dapsone-related side effects.</p>","PeriodicalId":13950,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Dermatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144293741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

She denied having any systemic symptoms. Examination revealed a well-defined, erythematous-to-gray nodule measuring 3 × 3 cm, featuring a corrugated surface at the lateral end. Histopathology showed large polygonal cells with abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm and small, uniform nuclei. Immunohistochemical staining was strongly positive for S-100 protein and neuron-specific enolase, confirming the diagnosis of a granular cell tumor (GCT). GCT is a rare, usually benign neoplasm of Schwann cell origin, with perianal involvement being extremely uncommon, especially in pediatric patients. Although most cases are asymptomatic, a perianal GCT can cause discomfort and may require surgical excision with sphincter preservation. While malignant transformation is rare, close monitoring is advised. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of GCT in unusual locations and underscores the importance of histopathology and immunohistochemistry for accurate diagnosis and management.</p>","PeriodicalId":13950,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Dermatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144293737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
