초록
Although, erythema nodosum is a common skin manifestation associated with syphilis, nodular vasculitis is a rare feature. Here,we describe a case of a 22-year-old, human immunedeficiency virus negative, non-immunocompromised man who developedrecurrent oral and scrotal ulcers with nodular lesions of the lower extremitie. Behçet’s disease was initially suspected, however,his serologic test for syphilis was positive, and he was thus diagnosed with secondary syphilis, with a skin biopsy showing nodularvasculitis. The patient was treated with benzathine penicillin, and the skin lesions disappeared after treatment.
