Abstract
- Syphilis is associated with 3 stages of infection-primary, secondary, and tertiary-each with their own associated clinical findings. Secondary syphilis manifests with condyloma lata and other cutaneous findings, and typically occurs several months after the initial infection. Condyloma lata are primarily found in the genital area, but may also be found in other locations such as the umbilicus, axilla, and neck. This brief report describes an umbilical condyloma lata discovered in a patient with secondary syphilis and HIV co-infection and discusses surgical excision and fulguration as an option for definitive management.
