Sumario:Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Treponema pallidum. The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending on which of the four stages it presents. The primary stage of syphilis classically presents with a painless ulcer (chancre).

This case showed that it is important to identify the special site's pruritus erythema by pathology and serological examination.
