“…Notably, round white rounded structures with well-defined edges (centred around a hair as depicted by the provided picture) were also described in another cases of CL. 5 Compared to prior instances, our patients shared the presence of dotted vessels and follicular plugs, though terminology used by the previous authors was slightly different. Such findings have been supposed to be related to vessels dilatation in papillary dermis and follicular hyperkeratosis, respectively.…”

“…Dermoscopy can be helpful too: red to milky-red globules, glomerular vessels and a whitish pink network can be observed on the raised border, while a yellowish structureless area and multiple, white, small, round structures can be seen in the center of the lesion. [8][9] Literature review -Methods Extragenital localization of condyloma lata is considered to be unusual. The literature contains only case reports and a few case series.…”

Secondary syphilis with extra-genital condyloma lata: A case report and review of the literature

et al. 2022

Background Syphilis is known as the “great imitator” because of its polymorphic clinical manifestations. Condyloma lata are an uncommon mucocutaneous manifestation of secondary syphilis, generally localized in intertriginous areas, such as the genitals and anus. Extragenital localization of condyloma lata is considered unusual. Methods A case study of extra-genital condylomata is presented. To contextualise the case, a literature review of extra-genital condylomata lata was subsequently undertaken. The authors searched MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus and Excerpta Medica/EMBASE English-language sources using the following keywords: “condyloma lata”, “condylomata lata”, and “condyloma latum”. Results Thirty-five papers (from 1940 to 2021) describing an extra-anogenital localization of condyloma lata were found and are summarized in Table 1. Patients were mainly males (82.1%), with a mean age of 31.9 years. Most of them showed other manifestations of secondary syphilis (53.9%). In a minority of cases (39.0%), concomitant anogenital condyloma lata were present, thus making the diagnosis easier. The toe web localization was the most documented (26.2%) followed by the oral cavity (23.8%). Conclusion In the presence of extra-genital condyloma lata, the differential diagnosis is not always clear, especially when no other muco-cutaneous lesions are observed. In the case of eroded or wet lesions involving any cutaneous fold, associated or not with other cutaneous manifestations, a sexual history should be obtained, and syphilis must be considered.

“…CL have been reported to occur in about 6%-23% of patients with secondary syphilis. 3,[5][6][7][8] While the anogenital chancres of primary syphilis are usually painless, CL of secondary syphilis can be painful. It is important to note that chancres can occasionally be painful and can also present as multiple lesions, especially in patients who have HIV.…”
