Abstract

To the Editor: Lampros et al1 draw attention to the difficulty of diagnosing the oral manifestations of secondary syphilis in a well-documented series. However, we would like to highlight the variable spectrum of lesions in oral syphilis, which can mimic other groups of diseases. Providers, including dermatologists, otolaryngologists, and dentists, should be familiar with the oral manifestations of syphilis and be prepared to include it in the setting of differential diagnosis of atypical oral lesions, avoiding misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis.
