A 22-year-old male with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection presented to the outpatient clinic in March 2021 with an 8-month history of multiple nodular lesions on the upper and lower limbs. Granulomatous secondary syphilis may resemble all these differential diagnoses, as they can have a similar clinical presentation with red-purple macules, papules, plaques, tumors, and nodules. The classic cutaneous presentation of secondary syphilis is a symmetrical non-tender macular rash, erythematous or copper-colored, on the trunk, extremities, palms, and soles.[1] Nevertheless, secondary syphilis has a highly versatile cutaneous presentation; a more aggressive or atypical presentation has been reported among patients with HIV infection.[2] Granulomatous infiltration is a rare finding in secondary syphilis, with few cases reported in the literature.
