Resumo: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Treponema pallidum infection. Oral manifestations of secondary syphilis can be more extensive and variable than those of primary syphilis. A 57-year-old female, presented with an 1-month history of mouth and throat ulcers. Extraoral examination revealed cervical lymphadenopathy and erythematous spots on wrists and lateral of left foot. Intraorally, there were multiple erosive plaques on palatine tonsils, border of tongue and lower labial mucosa. Diagnostic hypothesis were erythema multiforme, pemphigus vulgaris and syphilis. Incisional biopsy was performed and histopathological analysis revealed chronic inflammatory infiltrate rich in lymphocytes and plasma cells. Therefore, infection was suspected and serological tests were performed. VDRL, TPPA and FTA-ABS tests yielded positive results, indicating a diagnosis of syphilis. Antibiotic therapy was initiated, and oral and skin lesions disappeared within 1 month. Clinicians must be familiarized with the oral manifestations of syphilis, an emerging disease with varied clinical aspects.
