His medical history revealed papular lesions on chest and penis glans, which had been diagnosed and treated as scabiosis 2\u00a0months prior to our assessment. The intra\u2010oral examination showed erosive and patch lesions on the bilateral lip commissures, the palate and the border of the tongue. Initially, oral herpes was suspected. However, both the serological test and the cytology were negative. Therefore, syphilis was hypothesised.
