title: Multiple condylomata lata: a case report.
abstract: An unusual form of secondary syphilis was reported, characterized by multiple papules involving the intertriginous areas. The skin biopsy was performed but was nondiagnostic. Later on, serologic tests confirmed the diagnosis. This patient is presented to emphasize the importance of considering syphilis in any patient with an at-risk sexual history and popular verrucous lesions of the skin folds.
