Abstract
- Condyloma lata is one of the cutaneous manifestations of secondary syphilis. They are extremely infectious, moist papules that are commonly seen on patients with secondary syphilis. Condyloma lata commonly affects the intertriginous skin, and especially that of the genitalia, the perianal area and axilla, which all suffer from heat, moisture and friction. However, they are rarely seen on the tongue. A 19-year-old male patient presented with multiple erythematous papules and plaques on the tongue. But he did not have any other cutaneous eruption. Histopathological findings revealed irregular epidermal hyperplasia and perivascular inflammatory cell infiltration with lymphocytes and plasma cells in the dermis. The VDRL and TPHA test were both positive.
