    Congenital syphilis (lues) rarely presents with only one bone affected, complicating diagnosis. This unique case highlights diagnostic challenges and reviews limited similar reports.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Congenital lues, a maternal syphilis infection passed to a fetus, typically presents with multiple systemic manifestations.
    • Skeletal involvement in congenital syphilis is common but usually affects multiple bones.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of congenital lues presenting with isolated involvement of a single bone is reported.
    • This specific presentation poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its atypical nature.

    Findings:

    • The case underscores the potential for congenital lues to manifest with solitary bone lesions, a presentation seldom encountered.
    • Literature review confirms the extreme rarity, with only two other documented instances of single bone involvement in congenital syphilis.

    Implications:

    • This case emphasizes the need for considering congenital lues in the differential diagnosis of neonatal bone lesions, even with isolated findings.
    • Increased awareness of this rare presentation can improve diagnostic accuracy and timely treatment, potentially preventing long-term complications.
