Beschreibungen/Notizen

• A thirty-seven year old man presented with volar lesions resembling widespread clavi. Careful physical examination and serologic tests established a diagnosis of secondary syphilis. The unusual lesions best fit the rare clinical entity of horny syphilid. The case emphasizes the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion of syphilis and the value of the serologic tests in evaluating cutaneous eruptions.
