[Benign late syphilis: 2 cases, gummatous syphilis and nodular syphilis]

Two mild syphilis cases are hereby described. Their clinical and morphological characteristics differ. The first case showed syphilitic gums on the right eyebrow rim and tuberous lesions, some of which ulcerated. They made up plaques like archs on limbs. The second case showed nodular lesions distribute on practically all the cutaneous tegument. The specific and non-specific syphilitic tests were positive. The CRL study on the cellular and serological aspects was normal. The histopathologic pieces were compatible with the clinical diagnosis. Lesions evolved to a quick disappearance with the penicillin G benzatine treatment established. Attention is drawn to the possibility of noticing new cases of mild syphilis due to the present high incidence of the sexually transmitted diseases.
