Whitish vulvar tumors associated with macular symmetrical rash.

We present a woman with an unusual case of secondary syphilis after an unnoticed primary infection. She initially presented with multiple grayish plaques and nodules on the vulva associated with an erythematous macular symmetrical rash affecting the trunk and extremities. Despite the increasing incidence of sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis, presentation with unusual manifestations can lead to a delayed diagnosis.
