Head and neck mucosal manifestations of syphilis can be observed in each and all of primary, secondary and tertiary syphilis, especially in the secondary one. Therefore, oropharynx is an unusual localization of syphilitic lesions, mainly represented by ulcerous lesions, tissue hypertrophy, mucosal patches and cancer-like lesions. Serology is routinely considered the gold standard for the screening and diagnosis of syphilis. However, direct detection is routinely used during polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of oropharyngeal tissue and suspicious cervical lymphadenopathies.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PRISMA 2020 guidelines were applied to make a systematic literature review with the aim to make an overview of clinical manifestations and diagnostic tools of oropharyngeal syphilitic infection.
