Abstract
- 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.
