Resumo: A 32-year-old man presented multiple painful oral lesions with three months of evolution. During anamnesis, the patient reported secondary syphilis 6 years previously, which was treated by antibiotics. On extraoral examination, no lesions were observed. On intraoral examination, the patient presented multiple ulcers covered by a yellowish-gray pseudomembrane on the hard palate, buccal mucosa, lower labial mucosa and on the right side of the retromolar trigone; a white plaque on the right labial commissure was also observed. Under the diagnosis hypothesis of syphilis, an incisional biopsy was performed. Microscopically, an intense chronic inflammatory infiltrate with plasm cell predominance was found. The presence of Treponema pallidum was detected by immunohistochemistry. VDRL, FTA-ABS, anti-HIV (I/II), and anti-HCV tests were requested, and the results confirmed the diagnosis of syphilis. The patient started the treatment with penicillin G benzathine injection, and the lesions disappeared during the follow-up appointments.
