Summary
The authors performed laparoscopy on eight patients (six females and two males) with lepromatous leprosy. The findings show that goose flesh hepatomegaly (100 % of the cases), and red or gray splenomegaly (75 % of the cases) can be considered as laparoscopic hallmarks of lepromatous leprosy.
