Tumorous syphilid.

An unusual form of secondary syphilis, characterised by oozing tumours on the forehead and scalp concomitantly with plaques in the genital area, is presented. The patient was diagnosed as having secondary syphilis by dark-field examination, serologic tests for syphilis, and demonstration of spirochetes in the tissues by the immunoperoxidase technique with avidin-biotin peroxidase complex. Treatment with benzathine penicillin led to rapid resolution of the skin lesions one month later.

[Skin syphilids, only incidental findings].

Six cases of syphilides- rarely seen cutaneous manifestations today--are reported and the difficulties in finding the correct diagnosis are stressed. Considerations with particular reference to the differential diagnosis of clinically and histomorphologically similar diseases are discussed. Beside case history and serological tests it is of overall importance to bear in mind the possibility of late syphilis.
