Malignant syphilis is a rare form of secondary syphilis strongly associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV). A rare clinical form of presentation include multiple, large and rupia-like ulcerative lesions associated with systemic clinical manifestations. Here we describe an HIV-seropositive female who developed clinical cutaneous and systemic manifestations of malignant rupioid syphilis, with a good response to treatment with benzatin penicillin and we performed a review of the literature.
