Abstract:
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.
