- Abstract
Therefore, we report a case of primary syphilis on the nipple resulting from genital-nipple contact to raise awareness to include primary syphilis as a differential diagnosis of nipple ulceration. Dear Editor, Primary syphilis is characterized by a chancre, usually located on the genital area which is invaded by I Treponema pallidum i . An extragenital syphilitic chancre is uncommonly detected, especially on the nipples.1 Primary syphilis on the nipple was first reported in 2006 by Lee et al.2 Herein, we report a case of an extragenital syphilitic chancre occurring on a nipple created by genital-nipple friction.
