Abstract

Currently, tertiary syphilis is very rarely seen. This paper describes a case of benign tertiary syphilis. The lesion appears as a solitary hypertrophic lesion on the dorsum of the tongue. The oral aspects of tertiary syphilis and the importance of considering this pathologic entity in the differential diagnosis of oral lesions are highlighted.
