ABSTRACT
Syphilis is an ancient sexually transmitted infection that plagues communities across the United States and the world. Cutaneous syphilis has a wide variety of manifestations and presentations, and is notoriously difficult to identify clinically as a result. In this report, we describe the case of a 30-year-old patient with condyloma lata on the umbilicus, an extremely rare site for the presentation of these lesions. With the recent surge in syphilis infections nationwide, including congenital infections, this case underscores the urgent necessity for heightened syphilis awareness and suspicion among clinicians.
