ABSTRACT
This paper describes a case of benign tertiary syphilis represented by a solitary hypertrophic lesion on the dorsum surface of the tongue. The diagnosis was confirmed bu serologic tests (VDRL and FTA-ABS). Histopathological analysis of biopsy specimens revealed, in the lamina propria, the presence of well-developed granulomas associated with necrotic areas (gummatous lesion). Currently, tertiary syphilis is rarely seen; however, this case emphasizes that it still exists and must be considered in the differential diagnosis of inflammatory oral lesions
