ABSTRACT
Anorectal syphilis is relatively uncommon and diagnostically challenging given the wide differential diagnosis for anal lesions. Risk factors, such as men who have sex with men or HIV-positive status, are especially important to elicit from patients during the clinical history. In this report, we present a rare case of painful anal syphilis diagnosed in an HIV-negative woman by tissue biopsy.
