Introduction: Syphilis is an infectious disease caused by Treponema pallidum. The primary syphilis is characterized by the appearance of the chancre at the site of inoculation 3 weeks after infection. Staying for a period of latency after 6 to 8 weeks, progress to secondary syphilis, where there is a hematological dissemination of spirochetes and impaired epithelial surface and internal organs. After 1 to 10 years of evolution, one can develop tertiary syphilis with destructive granulomas cutaneous lesions or "gums" that are usually alone or in small numbers and asymmetric with central healing and peripheral extension.
