Abstrakt:	Rollet's Mixed Chancre is a clinical presentation of sexually transmitted infections (STI), involving the coexistence of Haemophilus ducreyi and Treponema pallidum at the same site of infection. Here, we report a case of Rollet's Mixed Chancre in a 32-year-old Brazilian woman. On physical examination she presented with a unilateral bubo measuring approximately 5 × 3 centimeters in diameter, in association with an ulcerated lesion that evolved for 10 days at the inguinal region. She was successfully treated at a health unit with antibiotics. Rollet's Mixed Chancre, though uncommon, poses diagnostic challenges. This case highlights the importance of considering rare STI manifestations. Moreover, comprehensive STI screening and adherence to treatment guidelines are essential for effective management and prevention of further transmission.
