Early malignant syphilis is a rare and severe variant of secondary syphilis. It
is clinically characterized by lesions, which can suppurate and be accompanied
by systemic symptoms such as high fever, asthenia, myalgia, and torpor state. We
report a diabetic patient with characteristic features of the disease showing
favorable evolution of the lesions after appropriate treatment.
