“…11,12 In some cases, there may be no evidence of sexual transmission. 13,14 At times, it can be the sole manifestation of the disease. However, many of these syphilitic presentations correspond to ulcers of the lip mucosa and, therefore, do not resemble the profile associated with cocaine, where nasal involvement is linked to diffuse thickening of the upper lip.…”

Although the involvement of the nasal passages and nasal septum in cocaine users has been known for decades, a new presentation affecting the nostrils and upper lip with an inflamed appearance has recently been documented. The authors who identified this presentation termed it “cocaine-related plasma cell mucositis” due to the abundance of plasma cells in the infiltrate. In this article, we present a second case and emphasize the dermal involvement of the lip, leading us to consider the condition as a genuine dermatomucositis.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Treponema pallidum. The primary stage of the disease (the chancre) mainly involves the genital areas. Extragenital areas are involved in 5%–14% of cases, many of which occur in the oral cavity. Among the extragenital locations, the lip is the most frequent; however, despite this, published cases of the chancre of the lip are few. We present a case of a chancre presenting on the lip of a nonimmunocompromised 55-year-old male patient with immunohistochemical confirmation.
