ABSTRACT
The case report of a 62 years patient who was assisted in the Dermatology Service of Aquiles Espinosa Salgado Polyclinic in Las Tunas is described, who presented a 0.5 cm white lesion, of pearly aspect, in the tip of the tongue. Taking into account the characteristics of this lesion the suspected diagnosis of secondary syphilis was established. The venereal disease research laboratory test was ordered and its result was 128 dilutions, reason why an opaline syphilid was confirmed, as a manifestation of syphilis in secondary stage. The focus control was carried out and the source of infection was still without specifying. With the suitable treatment, he had a favorable clinical course, but clinical and serologic follow up was maintained as established.REFERENCES
