Sažetak

A 62-year-old caucasian male with an intellectual disability was
referred due to two exophytic, pediculated, non-infiltrated perianal lesions of
reddish-pink colour, surrounded by ten hyperpigmented brown macules in
the gluteal area (figure 1). No relevant prior history was available. Histology
showed marked acanthosis with surface erosion and exuberant neutrophil
exocytosis; a dense plasmocytic inflammatory infiltrate was present (figure 2).
Serological testing showed increased anti-treponemic IgG and IgM titers and
RPR title of 1:128.
Condylomata lata is a rare clinical manifestation of secondary syphilis consisting
of pinkish or hypopigmented papules or plaques in the anogenital area.
They are extremely infectious, and their recognition enables prompt diagnosis
and effective therapy, with excellent prognosis.
