A 32-year-old man is being presented with a 1-week history of erythematous annular flat plaque with scales on his scalp. He displays only a solitary skin lesion on his scalp without any presence or other histories for other skin lesions or constitutional symptoms. It is difficult to consider the possibilities of syphilis based on such clinical findings. A diagnosis of syphilid is being made on the basis of clinical, serological and histological findings. Herein, we report an interesting case of secondary syphilis which is presented as a solitary annular plaque on the scalp.

BACKGROUND: The differentiation of syphilids from other skin decreases is frequently difficult due to considerable variations of clinical and histologic pattern. The most common histologic changes in secondary syphilis are swelling & proliferation of endothelial cells and the presence of a perivascular infiltrate containing plasmia cells. But often, these findings are absert or inconspicuous. OBJECTIVE: We examined the histopathologic findings of secondary syphilis in relation to the clinical types of the skin lesion. MEHTODS: 36 biopsy specimens from twenty-nine serologically and clinically confirmed cases of secondary syphilis (15 macules, 8 papules, 2 condylomata latas and 11 papulosquamous lesions) were examined. RESULTS: The histopath,ologic findings of secondary syphilis showed comparative differences according to the clinical types of the skin lesion. The plasms cell infltrates were absent or sparse in 14 csses(39%) and the plasma cell infiltration was significantly correhted with the age of skin lesions(p=0.02197). Vascular changes were seen in 32 cases (89%), but the incidence of endothelial proliferation was less(25%). CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates the histopathologic findirigs of secondary syphilis in accordance to the clinical morphology of the eruption and thus, help to differentiate syphilids from other skin diseases.

Cutaneous manifestations of secondary syphilis vary widely. Clinicians learn to consider the "great imitator" when confronting a combination of signs and symptoms that cannot be readily explained. A 29-year-old man presented with a 3-month history of well-circumscribed, scale-covered, erythematous plaque on the proximal part of his penis. On the basis of a serologic test for syphilis and skin biopsy, syphilid was confirmed. We report an unusual case of syphilid that presented with localized penile involvement presenting as a sole manifestation.

Cutaneous manifestations of secondary syphilis vary widely. Nodular lesions and condyloma lata on multiple sites are an uncommon presentation. A 34-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of multiple nodules and papules on the chest and multiple erythematous whitish nodules with maceration on the perineal area and anus, oral cavity, and umbilicus. On the basis of a serologic test for syphilis and skin biopsy, nodular syphilid and condyloma lata was confirmed. We report an unusual case of secondary syphilis that presented with multiple nodular syphilid on the chest and multiple condyloma lata arising in the perineum, anus, oral cavity, umbilicus.

Psoriasiform lesion is a rare manifestation in secondary syphilis. A 34-year-old woman patient presented with a month history of condylomata lata on the perineum and erythematous scaling psoriasiform plaque on the back. The preliminary differential diagnosis included psoriasis and lichen simplex chronicus but a psoriasiform syphilid was confirmed through skin biopsies and serologic tests. We report a case of psoriasiform syphilid.

10.A Case of Secondary Syphilis Showing Clinical Features of Annular Pustular Psoriasis Following the Acupuncture and Venous Drainage in a Herb Clinic.

Secondary syphilis has a myriad of clinical presentations as "the great imitator". However, syphilid mimicking annular pustular psoriasis has been rarely reported in the Korean literature. Although the incidence of syphilis has been declining in recent years, serologic testing for syphilis might be mandatory in all types of the unestablished psoriasiform dermatoses, in that failure to diagnose early syphilis correctly can have potentially serious legal ramifications. Though the risk of non-sexual transmission of syphilis has been extremely low, the probability of transmission following needle-stick injury or acupuncture can not be excluded. We herein report a rare case of secondary syphilis with clinical features of annular pustular psoriasis following the repeated acupuncture and venous drainage by a herb doctor.
