RESUMO
We report a case of a patient that presented with a perforated hard palate as a late complication due to an unsuspected syphilis. This disease first presented as a rectal ulcer which was misdiagnosed as an amebic proctitis. The patient received antiamebic treatment with a satisfactory outcome. He did not return for late control of the latter treatment and returned seeking medical advise six years later with the former complication. He tested positive for syphilis and appropiate treatment was performed. In addition, the ORL department recommended a palate prosthesis.
