Abstract
Leonine facies is characterized by thick, coarse, furrowed facial skin with prominent supra orbital ridge, thick glabella and deep furrows on the malar and infraorbital regions giving an appearance of “lion”. Diffuse dermal infiltration of papules coalescing to form plaques on the face adds to the manifestation of leonine facies. It is also seen in conditions such as lepromatous leprosy, cutaneous T cell lymphomas, actinic reticuloid and pachydermoperiostosis. We report a case of multicentric reticulohistiocytosis(MRH) in a 9-year-old boy who presented with multiple raised skin lesions distributed all over the body including face, trunk and extremities since 17 days of birth and multiple boggy swellings in scalp for past three years.
