The electronmicroscopic appearance of the epidermis in 2 cases of indeterminate leprosy was studied. There was a significant decrease in the number of melanocytes and several of those present showed signs of depressed activity and atrophy. Langerhans cells were increased in number and seemed to replace the melanocytes. Further study is indicated to elucidate the pathogenesis of melanocyte inactivity and reduction in number.
