Leucoderma in early syphilis.

CASE 1 A 25-year-old man first noticed depigmented lesions on the face and neck; a few days later he developed asymptomatic erythematous papular and scaly lesions over the trunk and extremities, and moist papular lesions on the scrotal skin. Two weeks later when he reported to us, some of the trunk lesions had also become depigmented. Four months earlier after an extramarital sexual exposure, the patient had developed a genital sore that had healed after one month. There was no history of genital lesions, skin rash, or miscarriage in the wife.
