RESUMEN
The occurrence of large multinucleated cells in leprosy is described together with the clinical appearances of thetypes of lesions in which this phenomenon is seen. An attempt is made to explain the possible origin of these cells and to estimate their significance in the course of the disease.My thanks are due to Dr. Muir, in charge of Leprosy Research at the School of Tropical Medicine, Calcutta, for permission to publish this note.

In this paper an attempt has been made to present a description of the depigmentated patch in leprosy from the clinical and pathological view points. The relationship of this particular type of lesion to the disease as a whole is discussed. The different clinical varieties of patch are then dealt with together with a brief reference to certain attributes of this type of lesion. The histological changes are next reviewed and lastly an attempt is made to correlate the clinical picture with the histological findings.My thanks are due to LIEUT.-COL.H.W. Actom, I.M.M., the Director, the School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, Calcutta for helpful suggestions during the course of this investigation and to Dr. E. MUIR, M.D., F.R.C.S.
