Moist umbilical papules: An aberrant presentation of condyloma lata.

Abstract

Condyloma lata, a skin manifestation of secondary syphilis, typically presents as verrucous papules and plaques in the anogenital region. However, its occurrence at the umbilicus is rare. Recognizing this atypical presentation, along with conducting a thorough history, physical examination, and appropriate laboratory tests, can assist clinicians in achieving a timely and accurate diagnosis. Here, we report a case of condyloma lata with an uncommon presentation involving the umbilicus.
