Abstract
- 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.
