“…More extensive symmetric, erythematous, verrucous annular and arcuate plaques affecting the scalp, lower trunk, perioral, perianal, and genital regions and present for six months were described in another report . Annular lesions may range from delicate, slightly raised lesions with scaly borders to thicker verrucous plaques and can be violaceous in color . With scalp involvement, alopecia may also develop .…”

“…The duration of lesions has been reported to be as long as two years without concomitant symptoms . Affected sites may include the scalp and face, with a predilection for areas in proximity to the corner of the mouth, as well as the palms and soles, and the intertriginous and genital regions . Depending on the anatomic site and clinical scenario, differential diagnoses may include lichen planus, subacute lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis, atypical mycobacterial infection, granuloma annulare, scabies (particularly with scrotal and penile involvement) and dermatophytosis.…”

Syphilis is a well-known sexually transmitted infection infamous for its protean cutaneous manifestations. Over the last decade, the rate of infection in the USA has risen, particularly among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals and certain ethnic groups. Although the primary chancre developing at the site of inoculation usually has typical and well-characterized features, cutaneous manifestations of secondary syphilis span a wide spectrum and mimic those of other dermatoses. This may be particularly evident in patients with HIV. Such deviations from the expected typical papulosquamous eruption may present a diagnostic challenge and delay diagnosis and therapy. Given the increasing incidence of syphilis among the immunosuppressed patient population, recognition of atypical cutaneous manifestations is critical for adequate management. We review a range of cutaneous manifestations of secondary syphilis and the skin diseases it may mimic.

“…The uncommon types of syphilides include nodular, psoriasis-like, pustular, annular, eczematous, oral mucous patches, hair loss and nail changes (1). Annular secondary syphilis is one of the uncommon forms, which often occurs in children and dark-skinned people (2). It mainly locates on the cheeks, especially close to the angle of the mouth, and forms annular, arcuate or gyrate patterns with delicate, slightly raised, infiltrated or finely scaling ridges (3).…”
